And that is why I said that your statement is not true. Care to back up your statement as to why you say a TC needs less oil flow?

Yes, I think I probably know more than the dealership that sells the filters, and apparently I`m not the only one who thinks this...

You need to go back to school because your bar stool education is not proof. So this is why a TC filter is a restricted flow. Nice.

Yeah I had a 1984 FXSB Shovel with spin on filter...twin belt drive too from factory...great bike, used to vibrate all the way up to 80-85 mph and then it was smooth
