Another one that can't get past the word "racing" in the Company name.

I do, and I do my homework before I buy stuff like this filter so I try not to buy gimmicks.

Go ahead - I've got nothing but time - I've been retired for years!

 

We are not going to play the dick measuring game, sorry. Knock yourselves out.

 

Damn, enquiring minds want to know. We all need a good laugh at bad upgrades. I especially like the "turbo flow generator" that goes in the input (for cars) - the one where they demonstrate how great it is with 2 2-liter soda bottles, one draining into the other. :P

 

save money??? 12 bucks just for the filter at oil change??? yeah that's a big saving. Say your put 25 k on your bike a year. whats that 5 oil changes. a whole 60 bucks.

Hey its your bike and your money. spend it as your heart desires sir.

 

I don't have any skin in the game - Have I used reusable filters in bikes - Yes. Do I use them now - No, because I hate cleaning them.

That being said please stop with the cost savings - that is not what it is about. There are a couple areas reusable filters offer a better solution:

1) When paper filters do not allow proper flow (i.e. cold startup, higher RPMs, possibly dirty) they go into a bypass mode to allow flow - This allows unfiltered oil to be returned.
and
2) Filter efficiency

Other nice items are:
1) Magnetic prefiltering - Yes, like on the drain plug
2) Potentially a slight cooling effect (nothing I really noticed)
3) Good flow without bypass

So again it is NOT about cost savings

 

Thanks, I will. Besides that, you've given exactly zero actual reasons not to buy a reusable oil filter - ok, except for the straw-man money factor.

 

There is no reason NOT to buy one. it clearly works like any oil filter should work. The benefits for a low RPM Harley IMO are way overstated. But that's just my opinion.

 

Its interesting to see how concerned some can be over the micron uniformity in a filter and yet my 82 shovelhead is designed to return the dirty primary oil to the engine including all its clutch debris and they don't fly apart as a result.

 

 

I use the PC racing reusable on my CVO.

I have used them before in other applications.

I like them.
