    Does anyone on here have one on their dyna ??? just a couple of questions before I purchase one - it says in the dyna manual it should have a 5 micron filter the proflow says its 30 micron does this matter much 

    I run a Jagg oil cooler and the adapter hoses run very close to the oil filter I am just wondering are they the same diameter as the standard filter and same length as the Jagg adapter pushes the filter more towards the forward controls -I have about 3inches to spare

    and also do you need some spare seals to replace after each service??

    Speedzer thanks for the link but I cant see anything in there that answers my questions I might just leave it - and stick with the disposable ones that I know that fit ......

    I use one for another bike. They do work, but who knows if they are as good.  Tey are A pain to clean correctly.

    Quote from the K&P site  www.kandpengineering.com/faq.shtml :

    " How does this type of filtration compare to paper oil filters?

    We use ASTMF316 testing procedures which eliminate many of the user variables found in the SAE procedures. Basically, the filter media is pressurized from one side, and when the media starts passing particles, that is the micron rating. We sent filter media from several common brands of paper filters to the lab to be run through the ASTM test. We sent the media to the lab with no names, just numbers for identification so they wouldn't have any idea what brand filter they were testing. The results for the paper filters ranged from 48 microns for the best filter to over 300 microns for the worst filter. Our tests were right in line with other testing results we have researched that have paper media filters passing particles anywhere between 50 and 90 microns. What does this mean? Paper filters are rated on averages, percentages of efficiency (also known as beta ratios) and multiple passes, so a 10 micron rated paper filter (as advertised on the packaging) may be letting particles 50 microns and larger through. The medical grade stainless steel cloth that we use is consistent across the entire media surface and is rated at 35 microns, meaning nothing larger than 35 microns should pass through the material. The bottom line is we meet or exceed the filtration performance of OEM filters, eliminating any warranty issues. "
