Seeking Advice on Oil Filter Relocation Kits for Harley Davidson
I’ve been doing some research on oil filter relocation kits specifically for my Harley Davidson, and I’m curious what others think about them. It seems like an interesting modification, especially for making maintenance easier. Here are a few points I was pondering:
Pros of Oil Filter Relocation Kits
Easier Access: Most of the kits seem to position the filter in a much more accessible location, which can save time during oil changes.
Reduced Mess: Relocating the filter can reduce the mess that often comes with oil changes, as you can avoid spilling oil everywhere.
Additional Cooling Options: Some kits even include options for additional cooling, which could be beneficial for performance.
Cons to Consider
Installation Complexity: How difficult is it to install one of these kits? I don’t want to end up with a half-finished job.
Cost: Are these kits worth the investment? I’ve seen a range of prices, and I’m not sure which ones are worth it.
Reliability: Has anyone experienced any issues with relocating the filter? I’d hate to have to deal with leaks or other problems after the modification.
Questions for the Community
What brands have you found to be reliable for Harley Davidson oil filter relocation kits?
Any personal experiences (good or bad) that you can share?
Are there specific product reviews or resources that you recommend?
I’m really looking forward to your insights and experiences. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
I’ve installed an oil filter relocation kit on my Harley and it was a game changer! A total mess initially, but with the right tools, it turned out well. You need basic hand tools and maybe some extra hose clamps. Just be patient.
You’ll definitely need a good set of wrenches and maybe a torque wrench for the fittings. I also recommend an oil catch pan, as things can get slippery. The install is pretty straightforward once you have the right setup.
