Looks like a lot easer to take off, than the original .. ??

Never used them, but, to get the filter off, I have a cnc cut oil filter wrench that takes a 3/8" drive extension on the end works really well ... i also use a silicon baking liner to put under it to drain ... brake it loose, let it drain, change it out.
I use that same type end cap filter wrench. The M8's don't need the 1 that's cut out. The key for me is not to over tighten the filter.
I would use the K&N's, but they are too expensive for me. I either use the Mobil 1 extended filter or the HD filter, both around $10.
The K&N are $15 around me.

I'll give one a try - and get back with you..
For saving money and better performance, I have not purchased an oil filter in over 250,000 miles!
I use a Permanent Performance Oil Filter that runs the bike cooler, has less drag on the oil pump and it filters better than any of the disposable oil filters. It also has a nut on the end for easy removal.

I've seen that filter many times and thought about getting one. I see that you screw the element to the oil bracket on the bike, but I don't see how you attach the cover. I don't see any threads.
The filter element "docks" or "locks" into the filter element housing, it takes no tools, and takes about 2 seconds. Then you screw it on and off just like any other filter.

Interesting filter, I didn't read too much into it, YET, BUT does this filter also fit a Goldwing engine??
If so, then I'll read all I can about this new filter, and take my time, to study about it..
Actually I'm sending this company a "e" and ask them what motors they fit.. thank you, for the head's up!
