Default oil FILTER question

Its not another oil thread! Im wondering what kind of filter guys are running? Is it amsoil ect that you are using? Or it just a factory HD oil filter you are using? I know it isnt mandatory to use a special fitler Im just wondering if you do and does amsoil or other synthetic oil producers sell chrome ones?

I use the HD black filter and buy them in bulk. It's a proven filter.

I use a Mobil 1 filter and Amsoil oil. I get the filters at the Autoparts store instead of the Harley boutique.

K&N oil filter because it has a nut welded to the bottom to make removal easier.

KN# 171B = Black
KN# 171C = Chrome

That's for the late model baggers.

(Red Line Synthetic products in all three holes)

HD 63798-99 Chrome filter. When you cut them apart and really analize different ones the HD is pretty darn good. If I had to choose another one it would be the K&N.
