Look at the holes in the filters, I bought a K&N filter and the holes were much smaller than the HD filter. Not that it matters, but i was concerned with the flow of the smaller holes. Use HD oil filter. $25000.00 for your bike, don't take a chance on a filter that may be $2.00 cheeper. JMO

No filter I know of is spec'ed down to 5 microns like the moco recommends. Just buy the Harley filters. They're not that expensive and you just don't want to take a chance on a bike like that. I know I don't
