If you plan on keeping your bike I suggest a K&P oil filter... WAY WAY nicer!!!

Mr Lefty · 03-30-2008, 01:06 AM

how much is that Gas? I remember think'n about the Scott's one.. but it was like $100+

I didn't know KP made them for sportbikes.

Gas Man · 03-30-2008, 01:10 AM

K&P makes them for everything... I think Scotts buys them from K&P.

K&P Application

I got a guy that is a deal for the K&Ps

And yes they are in the $100 range. But do the math on it... say $12+ per K&N... less than 9 oil changes and you're home free.

Plus I know a few guys that told me that after they went to the K&P, sense you wash it out yourself... you see everything that has been filtered. They found paper in there for a the first few changes.

yeah that's what I was thinking... but I remember posting about it over at

and ya'll talked me out of it by saying you've never seen a bike fail becuase of flow problems when it came to oil...

truth be known I've always been planning on getting one... just haven't done so... maybe in sept.

yeah they have them linked on the "where to buy" section

Gas Man · 03-30-2008, 01:28 AM

Yeah its not a flow or filtration thing that is bad. But these are better. Plus its one less thing to have to buy all the time. Plus for me it looks soooo much sweeter!!

Oh and I emailed my guy that sells them... maybe he'll post up here... and yes he's a big dog guy... sorry.

Of coarse... you all would buy a black one... and save some cash. But the guy I have told to come here... also sells anadized colors too!

shit I say if he's got knowledge about 2wheels he's more than welcome... but you might warn him to expect a bit of friendly ribbing

Gas Man · 03-30-2008, 01:46 AM
