Default Replacement oil filter

Ready to changeoil and filter and the guy in the shop recommended some "Spectro Heavy Duty Motorcycle 20w50" and "RevTech" magnetic oil filter formy 06 883L. Have any of you heard or use these products as I am anxious not to compromise on quality from the HD oil/filter.

Most of the posts on the "oil wars" forum seem to suggest staying with the HD, which I did.

I'm staying with HD syn oil and HD filter as long as my warranty lasts just to be on the safe side, then I'm switching to Amsoil.

U can stick up with the HD Filter, but I will recommend Mobil 1 Vtwin 20-50 oil..is the best, plus the bike will run better ans not that hot..
