Default K&N oil filter

Is this some kind of high security trade secret or some **** that Amazon doesn't sell a K&N oil filter for a 2022 114 M8?
It's always convenient to buy all the stuff needed for a fluid change from Jeff, but now they're listing a OXCANO brand as the proper filter. Looks just like a 171b K&N filter.
Any thoughts on the OXCANO

It's Amazon... if you have the correct part number buy it. Don't rely on their parts fitment guide IMO.

Twin Cam filters will fit the M8. But the real M8 filters from HD are 1/2 to 3/4 longer than the Twin Cam. Many shops just stock the shorter filter and I have not heard of any issues using the older filter.

If, you can't get them through Amazon get them at a local Auto Parts Store. Napa can order them if them don't stock them.

It'll work. They just have the fitment data wrong for your bike.

May I suggest always go direct to the filter manufacture website and use the filter lookup tool, K&N websites look up tool works well. Then buy it on Amazon if you choose.
However, some retail websites lookup tool works well but not Amazon but I always double check fitment more than one place.
