    Most filters out there are I'm sure about the same. Most comparisons that I've been reading, always claim that FRAM is of very poor quality. Whichever brand you pick wal-mart, K&N, or Amsoil I'm sure they will be fine. I posted the above, in case they didn't have the "1" that you were looking for.

    Do we need to buy some sort of gasket when changing the lubricant in the primary?

    Yeah, the Harley or Buell dealerships have a Primary gasket that you need to replace when changing the primary oil. At least that's what the Service manual says. I've read a lot of posts on here where some are very careful with it and re-use with no problems.

    No Problem. I learn so much off this site, that I look for opportunities to help out when I can.

    Resurrecting an oldie...

    I've only seen Purolator filters (AKA Bosch, Motorcraft, PowerFlo, ProLine, Purolator Premium Plus, Purolator Pure One, Quaker State) to be consistently built well. There is enough info below to make reasonable choice.

    ok lots of info here on Filter for Buell's but i seem to have run into an issue where almost all of these filters are not available in New Zealand...


    i finally managed to find a Royal Purple and Mobil 1 oil importer here but prices aren't cheap...

    i have been told that "Castrol Power 1" is a good oil for Buells

    will check to see if the K&N filter is available but thinking all i have to go with is the Harley/Buell genuine filter. :(

    FYI Eric Buell Racing just partnered with Amsoil. All oil listed are only up to w40, if you live in the south Buell recommends 20w50. A lot of manufactures make oil picificly for air cooled V twins. The best insurance is regular oil changes. Ride Hard, but take life easy.:p
