    The dude I went to see today was showing me the Flo Stainless steel oil filter.
    YOu buy it and clean it and reuse it.
    And if there's any particles in the filter you can see them when you clean the filter.

    I watched it and it seems like a pretty good idea. I think the billet cover is over the top (too flashy and chunky like most billet stuff) and I bet it raises the price up quite a bit, too. I really like the idea of being able to reuse the filter, the increased flow capacity, and the magnet.

    I dunno,

    Do you really want to clean an oil filter
    everytime? more fluids and more cleaning supplies

    I'd just rather fill the dump with a filter
    and piss off a greenie.....

    If you like looking for things to make you worry, you
    might as well put a hole in your chest to watch your arteries clog
    and your lungs deteriorate, gheez! LOL

    What are ya hoping to find in the oil, something?

    Black Wix HD Filters $5 online.

    I can change the oil 20 times before I hit the cost of one of those
    filters... and Wix makes HD's filters so it's correct to use one....

    Add in the cost of cleaners and the cleanup, mess etc...

    How much HP do they claim you will get LOL

    Nice engine I know of two running lots of power.

    You'd need a new clutch, and probably have to beef up the 6 speed,
    eventually the new clutch and power will bust the trans trap door

    Lotta fun for the money....

    JMO K&N at $18 is a waste, you can get chrome Wix for half that online...

    Would the fact that the SE 120R has a pressed together SE crank bother you ?

    What do you all think about the Hiflo Filtro? I've been using them now for a couple ofyears and they work great. Read about them online and they build filters for about everybody.:confused::confused:
