I can tell you guys right now I know as of last year with 99.9% +/- 1% that HI-Flo Filtro makes the K&N oil filter. They come off the same line out of the same factory. This information came out of the K&N reps mouth at a dealer show. For the next 30 minutes he was trying to justify the added cost of the K&N, saying it isn't just a name that it is a better filter. I have always used Hi-Flo Filtro oil filters in all my bikes and I have not had a single motor failure....Knock on wood... I agree with most of the posts above, I think there is one MAYBE two filter manufacturers and they just put different names on the box. The stainless filters are cool and they are practical but I have seen pictures of them failing and it is not pretty. Any ways thats my two cents and with another 98 you can get a cup of coffee.
