As good as K&N at half the price

In my opinion this filter is as good if not better than the K&N filter which is 2-3 times the price. I use this branded filter on all my bikes and I am very happy with them. FYI for people installing them on a motorcycle where you need a black filter but don't need all the markings on it, the HF171B filter I received is just black with no markings. Just as I expected when ordering.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • There are drawbacks

Works but won't let me use my Rivco key

Fits my 2016 HD Street Guide Special but is a little longer than the stock HD part and won't let me use the Rivco HD021 oil filter wrench for Harley-Davidson for installation. The key cannot get between the filter and the crankshaft position sensor because the filter is too long for it. I will not buy this again and will use the standard HD part. By the way, the new key worked perfectly.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Functionality

I like good deals just like everyone else, except .

Not sure if this is the same quality as the factory filter. I bought this and installed it on my Softail 02. When I took the old one out and compared it to the new one, I saw that my old one had more springs etc for the bypass valve. This is an inexpensive filter. I like good deals as much as everyone else, but next time I'll use a different brand. It's just not worth the risk for a few euros in my opinion.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some imperfections

Replacement for k&n

Have been using k&n for many years; With obvious manufacturing issues (thread placement/flange issue) I decided to try this filter based on the 30% price difference and I'm glad I did. I use and change full synthetic quality oil (Amsoil) well before I need it, typically after 5-7k miles, and change filters just as often. I don't see a problem with this filter as visual inspection before use looked really good and the build quality was evident. The only way to really appreciate the filter is toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Medium

Will NOT fit early Ultra Classics with EFI

This is not the only dealer to list this filter size as the correct size for this bike. This is a picture of the crankshaft position sensor on a 2000 FLHTCUI. The black filter here is the 3 3/8" long WIX 57348, not the 3 3/4" long HF171 filter listed here. I have ordered these size 171 filters twice because several websites list them as a direct fit. The angle of this image doesn't allow for interference, but since the HF171 (or any 171 series filter that claims to be ALL site compatible) isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Requires Socket
