+ | 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. \\ | ||

+ | |||
+ | ====== 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 http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?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. \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | </blockquote>Fitment: 86 and Up Sportsters: \\ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Features and Specs: ((http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/outlaw-high-performance-cleanable-oil-filter-in-polished-finish-dk-ocof-crm.htm)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Cleanable and reusable | ||
+ | * Meets or exceeds manufacturers specifications | ||
+ | * Medical grade 304 stainless steel filter flows 7 times more oil than a paper filter | ||
+ | * Reduced oil pump drag = increased power to rear wheel | ||
+ | * Provides faster oil pressure at startup | ||
+ | * Billet housing fins help drop the temperature of the oil via heat dissipation | ||
+ | * Integrated magnet pre-filters the oil | ||
+ | * Reduces / eliminates bypass of unfiltered oil found over standard paper filters | ||
+ | * Pressure tested to 1000 psi. | ||
+ | * No more cutting apart filters for inspection | ||
+ | * Environment friendly | ||
+ | * 17 mm wrench nut drilled for easy removal, includes safety wire hole required at most race tracks | ||
+ | * There are two quad rings included. \\ A quad ring will typically last 3-5 oil changes. \\ Additional quad rings are available. \\ If you accidentally damage the stainless steel element, those are also available. | ||
