There are times when people think they have an idea of doing something different, where the whole idea is just doing something different, and nothing more.
Some call them "Innovators", I call them "Why?".

OK, Looks like the Harley filter for the Big Twin engine filters 5 microns. The Harley filter for the Sportster engine filters 30 microns. The ebay unit does 35 microns, so this might be acceptable for a Sportster but I'm not so sure about my Twin Cam engine.
The fact that K&N is making one makes me question whether it's just snakeoil. I may call them for more info about the filtration capabilities.

Just some useful information http://www.aftermarketsuppliers.org/...ish/89-5R3.pdf
Plus the searching on the internet says that the H-D filter is made by Champion Industries which is now owned by Frahm. But I've read on the forums that people would never put a frahm filter on their bike ... Hmmmm
