Gonna spend some time on this one and see if I can find a replacement filter for my S&S Teardrop. Thanks!

Looks like the EaAM23 for me, just going to check the dimensions when I get back home to be certain - don't want any more extra parts!

Sounds like y'all are drinking some kool aid on that filter. .maybe it's just me but I don't see it as a vast improvement over the K&N offering. I'm open to convincing though.
Read some reviews mentioning the 'vacuum cleaning' doesn't work with the gunk that gets in there on a motorcycle, exposed to rain and oil (kicked back out the breathers, which inevitably makes its way to the filter). Maybe the Amsoil would work great under the hood of a car, beneath the plastic air filter cover.
Also saw it's more expensive than K&N and has a replacement life span.
Again, I'm not a die hard K&N supporter, but I don't see any reason to switch over to Amsoil just yet.

Ea Air Filters
AMSOIL INC. of Superior, WI announces the introduction of a new premium, high efficiency air filter utilizing nanofiber technology with a four year/100,000 mile service life guarantee and superior air flow. Positioning itself to be a world class leader in filtration, the AMSOIL Ea Filter is incomparable in both design and performance.
In lab testing Ea media with nanofibers removed 5 times more dust than the average cellulose filter and 50 times more dust than the average wet gauze media. Ea media also has 3 times the airflow of cellulose filters and is equal to wet gauze filters at the very low 0.5 inches of restriction. The proprietary Ea media held 15 times more dust than the average wet gauze type filter. In short, AMSOIL Ea Filters offer superior performance in the three critical performance benchmarks of efficiency, flow and capacity.

Allan you are going to love the Hayden M6. Took her out today and their is a very noticeable difference in the shifts. I have read a lot about this from others but you don't realize how true it is until you ride with one installed. Just awesome......can't say much about the power as it was my first ride so I kept it under 2,900.

Only 2600 rpms? A lot of discussions on if you really need to take it easy or not:

Not trying to say which way is right, but a good thread.
