Default oil filters

Friend of mine with a Road King says he buys his oil filters for his bike at AutoZone. Says they sell K & N filters for Harleys. Anyone know if this is correct?? If so, what number for a 95 Evo??

KN170 for black
KN170C for chrome
They may not have them in stock, but will usually have them by the next day if you buy them.

I use Wix,get it from an auto store,they usually have it but if not,they can have it the next day. I like the K&N cause it's got the nut on the end of it,makes for easier changes.Ebay always has alot but even if you find a decent price,they want rediculous shipping,then it takes a week to get it.

They used to be $4, but prices went up with the inflation we're not experiencing. I buy them by the case, as they fit both my bikes (they're even black), the Esprit Turbo and the Truck.

Is there a specific part number or does one size fit all?

And thanks for the great tip!

Just ask for a filter for a 1986 Toyota Truck, 22R motor. You will be quite surprised at the quality. A real pre-lubed O ring with a seal over the mouth to keep gunk out. I have even bought some that were "made in USA," wherever that is.

The specs on the filter are the same as on an Evo. Same bypass pressure, threads, etc. You can do your own research on the various oil filter maker pages. The MoCo didn't design a filter just for the Evo. They just looked around and said, that one, that'll do, then got someone to chrome it and charge $20.
