BAD THREADS are good for motorcycles and strength sports

This filter was tested at Revain and fits my 2013 Electra Glide bike When I tried to spin it it started then stalled and stayed a half inch from the gasket stuck away. If you get one that doesn't turn easily by hand, don't use force. The threads are wrong or damaged. I like K&N filters but I don't know what happened here.

  • Price

Faulty Filter: Oil Filter

I have changed oil myself for many years but this was my first filter purchase from Revain. Unfortunately, the filter was leaking, no matter how many settings. Changed to what I bought at a local store, no problem. I don't blame K&N for always using them or HiFlow, but this unit broke and wasted over $12.

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Communication with Seller

Extreme use! - Filter

A small nut at the end of the can makes life easier. I've always liked K&N. It's been on my bike now through the rain and Texas summer heat (for those who say it's not as hot as. Average temperatures are 101-105 F and 90% humidity for 7 months. Temperatures on the road can exceed 130 F, I've seen the roads melt here) so yes it works in extreme conditions. There are no leaks or signs of surrender. get one

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Discontinued model

The top nut is easy to round off.

I like the quality of the filter itself. I bought this filter specifically for the top nut which was easy to remove from my Street Bob. However, when I decided to remove it, it rounded off very quickly and I had to use a strap wrench to remove the filter the normal way. The shape of the walnut is strange. It gets bigger towards the bottom and is therefore not so well suited for a socket. Some people don't have a problem with it, but I didn't get any benefit from it.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Hard to say

fits 12 years Fatboy on parts

I don't trust anyone who works on my cars, not even changing the oil unfortunately. I also don't like having a collection of different sized oil filter heads so I switched from Mobil1 to K&N and have never looked back when K&N released their weld nut filters. When they started making PowerSport filters with a nut, I immediately switched my Harleys and ATVs. With this oil filter, changing the oil for my 12 year old fat man is very easy. They come in chrome and black, I would never use any otherโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others

Better start with this filter.

When you're tired (or don't know you're paying too much for too little), buy HD filters. It's a great choice. HD filters (in black) cost at least $5 more and have less than half (63 square inches) the filter area; These K&N filters are approximately 165 square meters. inches of filter area. Filter area, which is partly why it allows 25% better passage than OE when combined with a bypass that opens at 14psi. 63 square inch HD filter. and a bypass that opens at 10psi, so it spends most of itsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Weak

Better filtration and easier instillation than HD OEM. HERE WITHOUT A SOUL!

What's not to like here. It's K&N, so you get more filter area than OEM HD. This means the oil lasts longer and the bike runs smoother. Outrageously cheaper! Or with a normal key. I have a 2016 Forty Eight and a strap wrench between the frame and filter is NOT an option. I had to buy a special key for the filter. Why do that when I can use these filters and have a better experience from instillation to disposal. Don't waste your money and HD dealers. This is simply the best product.

Pros
  • Certified

  • Ok

Easy to install Parts

This filter is high on my options list for the simple reason that it is so easy to remove. The nut on filter is such a useful feature that I honestly don't know why all the other manufacturers don't do it, but I won't even try another filter until they do. Of course, never overtighten the filter, only 1/2. 3/4 turn right after making contact with the gasket and I've never had a leak. However, a little mechanical assistance is required to begin removal. Even after "breaking the seal" andโ€ฆ
