Review on 🏍️ K&N Motorcycle Oil Filter KN-177: High Performance, Premium, Synthetic/Conventional Oils, Fits Select Buell Vehicles, Black by Jesse Gray

I have used KN-177 on both Buell XB12S 07 and 08. When I got the bike, 08 had KN-177. KN-177 is slightly shorter than the filter he replaced with 07 (not sure what brand he replaced but most likely HD as that is the brand of oil the previous owner used). I cannot confirm the effectiveness of this filter in terms of whether its filtering is better or worse, or whether it is more or less restrictive compared to other filters. But I can confirm that it's made of thicker steel than most filters. The stamped sheet metal nut spot welded to the filter is very easy to remove, the nut has limitations, I have a bike with a Jagg oil cooler adapter that is not machined as smooth as it should be and has a curve. unscrewed the nut but i have to admit i had to make a sheet metal wrench which squeezed the whole filter together so hard that the filter deformed before it came loose, i wouldn't have believed the amount of force it took to remove the filter , if I weren't it wouldn't be the one who removed the filter.
