 +The HD OEM filters and aftermarket paper filters are rated on averages, percentages and multiple passes. ((http://​www.dkcustomproducts.com/​outlaw-high-performance-cleanable-oil-filter-in-polished-finish-dk-ocof-crm.htm)) \\
 +So a 10-micron-rated paper filter may be letting particles 100 microns and larger through. \\
 +
 +All of the different brand of reusable filters below: \\
 +Are 30-35 micron '​absolute'​ stainless steel mesh material. \\
 +(this means nothing smaller than 30-35 micron should get past them). \\
 +Advertise that they are the last filter you'll ever need. \\
 +And seem to be basically the same filter other than cosmetics. \\

 +  * Weight (.80 lbs) 
 +  * Colors:

 ====== Outlaw Oil Filter ====== ====== Outlaw Oil Filter ======
 +The Outlaw is a high performance,​ reusable oil filter. \\
 +At the heart of the filter is a medical grade 304 stainless-steel micronic cloth filter designed to pass a large volume of oil when compared to standard paper filters. ((http://​www.dkcustomproducts.com/​outlaw-high-performance-cleanable-oil-filter-in-polished-finish-dk-ocof-crm.htm)) \\ 
 +The cloth is designed to filter out particles 35 microns or larger. \\ 
 +(35 microns is below the limit of human visibility) \\
 +
 +Medical grade stainless steel cloth is consistent across the entire surface. \\
 +And when rated at 35 microns (meaning nothing larger than 35 microns will pass through the material), \\
 +It is an absolute. But with paper filters, the rating is an average. ​ \\
 +Additionally,​ paper filters have a bypass, so on startup & high RPM the oil is not being filtered at all.
 +
 +Regarding horsepower increase: ((DK Custom of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​vendors/​dk-custom-products/​181325-dk-custom-products-outlaw-permanent-hiflow-reusable-oil-filter/​page2?​t=1951850&​page=2)) \\
 +<​blockquote>​We have done tests on multiple Twin Cams, and always seen an increase in RWHP & torque. \\
 +We have also tested a couple of Sportys and have not seen significant gain in RWHP & torque. \\
 +Although we have had reports from others that they have seen an increase on Sportys, \\
 +We've not seen it on the couple we've tested. Twin Cam and Evolution motors are significantly different. \\
 +However, on start-up and high RPM the paper filters go into bypass mode. \\
 +That means there is no filtration happening at start-up and most importantly,​ at high RPM. \\
 +The added benefits of a pre-filter magnet, some cooling benefits along with better filtration are worth it.
 +Plus, less garbage going into landfills is a not a bad thing. \\
 +Also, if you ride a lot, in the long run, there is a financial savings to not buying so many disposable oil filters. \\
