Purolator makes one that is the exact same spec as the HD one and it is $14.

It's 21 micron. Says right on the Wix site. Look at my post above. Copy/paste right off their site. Wait. I stand corrected that is the Harley Spec. different filter number WTF, why don't they have that number pop up when I put my bike year model in????

The right WIX # is ( 51348 ), I sell them retail for 8.48, 51348 is black, 57348 is crome

Get a K&N and you don't have to use a filter wrench to get it off.

The 51348 is a multie fit filter that is 21 micron, The 57148 is the 5 micron filter that is specific to Harley Davidson. You will have to type the number 57148 into there filter search and see that the filter is indeed different from the 51348. BTW, I get the black version from Oriellys for 9 bucks.
