Best Oil Filter? 12 Months ago  
What's the consensus on the best oil filter for a roadie?
I'm currently running a Fram and Synthetic oil.
I just read about a reusable metal filter with a finned aluminum housing - retail $129 - claims to be the best for HDs. I'm guessing it would fit the Roadie as well, but is pretty spendy.
Also, is anyone running an oil cooler? If so, what brand?

Learning as I go

Hard to find, but the Purolator Pureone brand, model PL14610, has 99.9% efficiency. That what I run, found it at K-mart, go figure

Re:Best Oil Filter? 12 Months ago  
Zoom & GP - how come the different part #s for the Purolator filters?

GP - Why K&N over the others? The sites you linked don't seem to show the K&N as all that great - or am I misreading something?

I've got an oil change coming up in 2K - put 3k on the bike since I got it and loving it and definitely want to take care of it.

Thanks guys!
