Never heard of K&P Engineering. What would be the reason to go with their filters over the HiFlo ones, or any other brand for that matter?

Well, looks reusable


The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage.

A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean.

The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine.

Finally, the filter housing is carved out of a solid chunk of 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

It's also sold by Scotts (part S27) made by KN Eng. I got one also but haven't installed it yet. I got it after the dragsters were all raving about how good they are.

Oh, so it's one of those reusable filters that you'll only break even on compared to stock if you keep your bike for at least 50k miles or do excessively frequent oil changes?
