I have a special on right now for all the HD Forum Guys. PFE Reusable Oil Filter Kits for Harleys $140.00,

VPW 03 8405 9212

walka,

looking at the photo, is the actual fiter a washable-reusable  type?,

or is that part  to be replaced each oil change?

looks like a paper type cartridge???

is there a write up on these units some where??

They have a washable Stainless Steel mesh Fitler

o.k. good stuff, ill give you a call...tomorrow.thanks..
(to suit a 88ci 2006 dyna)

Why oh Why didn't you say something a couple of weeks ago. I bought the K&P Engineering filter for $180.00 delivered. I would have bought one of those you have Walka.

bucket, thats 14 oil changes, but where do you get black ones to suit an 88ci twin cam at $10?? l think im paying $14-$15 at the harley shop,, ALSO
after checking these type of filters out on the net im thinking $140 is a good price,,
ive got some questions about them before l commit..
is a replacement ss filter available if neded & how much? does it meet Hd specs of check valve? bi-pass valve?
(l dont know what they are but was asked to enquire for someone else who's interested...)
if your going to keep your bike for a long time ,run it through rivers, dust, un forseen stuff then these make sense,
l dont know if its a messy proceedure cleaning out the part?or how you get it real clean since its got to be very fine mesh,
, couldnt be as simple as swaping over a disposable one,,could it? im keen....

I run a stainless mesh filter on my KTM 950, but mainly because they can have a water pump seal issue that can collapse a standard paper filter. That and the stock filters are $35.  I'm not totally convinced they are the best filter otherwise. You really need an ultrasonic bath to clean them correctly, and it's still a hassle. Throw away filters are much easier.

I'm using K&N filters (with the welded nut on the end) on the Harley.

 

What brand are those ones Walka mate?

They are PFE  Pro Flow

Oil filters are cheap, rebuilds are not. Go for the genuine or a good quality aftermarket product. Filter paper medium traps particles down to minute particles as quite often the smallest particles which we cannot see with our naked eyes are the ones that do the damage.  Oil susopends the particles & filter medium traps it.

Like I said filters are cheap..

I have one of those from walka (pro flow)
And i like it because like oz said ya can see if there is any bits in it
They use them on race bikes
The only thing i changed was the o ring to a viton one more heat resistance
