Reusable oil filter on M8 ?
Anyone running a reusable oil filter on an M8? I have a K&P from the 09 FLTR I just traded for a '19 FLTRX, and am thinking of installing it. These filters are supposed to flow more than the OEM filter. Not sure if I'd want to upset the delicate pressure / scavenge balance.

A reusable oil filter is good for high performance and maintenance intensive bikes. Harleys are the complete opposite. I use a reusable oil filter on my dirtbike since oil changes are pretty frequent and barely uses a quart compared to Harleys. They flow more oil but it doesnt filter them as efficiently as paper filters do.

Well now that you have heard from the nay sayers, here is some positive input. Yes, I am running a lifetime oil filter on my M8 for almost two years now. It is one of the first things I do to a new bike, I’ve been using them since about 2005. I’m running a PC Racing brand on my bike at this time, but I don’t think there’s a lot of difference between the different makes. I personally think they do as well or better filtering the oil as the disposable ones. So if it is what you want to do go for it.
