I like that system. It even looks like it would be a much cleaner oil change . Is there after market filter cartridges for it ?
If harley would have sold it for $100 or 150 bucks it mite still be sold today . Looks like the price killed it if you ask me.

You could buy a couple lifetimes worth of regular style filters, for what they were asking for that type. Even the aftermarket cleanable ones they still sell, are more work then I'm willing to do for an oil filter.,,,

At that price point you can switch to one of todays reusable stainless filters like the ones sold by DK Custom. These are proven to give:

1) better filtration
2) Higher flow
3) cooler engine temps
