Hi there!
I wonder which oil filter will be suitable for my bike. Some resources inform that 170 is OK, other pages - 171.

Can you help me choose?

I was just looking at that a couple weeks ago. The forum seemed to say 171 was right, but everyone who sells the filters, K&N included, all said 170. From what I could find online it sounds like they'll both fit on the one bike, but one is for big twins and there's a difference in how easy the oil flows through them? I don't know, I just decided to trust K&N and bought the 170.

Oil filter confusion is a thing here.
For fun you can find this.


OR


You can go completely crazy and just do the regular and install a hi cap. Wix Napa filter. 51516 No oil cooler needed. I aint sure you can beat it
