I have ordered all my WIX filters from www.filter1.com for 3 or more yrs.
Nov. 08 I ordered $183. worth of WIX filters. Wifes Liberty filter was $4.83.
My Hemi filter was $4.52. I am thinking the Harley filter 51348 will be less
than $5.00...FREE SHIPPING with an order of over $50.00..........Tenn.Vol.

I put a chrome on once. Then I started to do things to cool off the heat the engine put out during the hot summer rides. One thing I did was put black filters on from that point forward. Black helps dissipate a little of the heat better than the chrome, which helped with being stuck in traffic situations.
Plus everybody says black is faster, and I figured that a little more black would increase my speed a little more

Come on! Now I've heard it all!

It's true. Why do you think the bottom of a teapot is polished?? Because it heats up quicker. Radiators are black for the opposite reason, to dissipate heat better.

That's right.
