Never heard of them. For that unit price, you could snag an OEM, which is quite good or a K&N. A little more per filter and you can get one of the fancy Amsoil ones.
It's a safe bet that any question even slightly related to oil or filters is gonna get some differing and dissenting opinions. Never used one on a Duc but HiFlo has a good reputation for quality filters. I wouldn't have too much hesitation about using them.
If you wanted to be scientific you could cut open one of the three and compare with a Ducati branded filter. But then any savings would be down the drain...
I only use Hi Flo, they are great.
They're made in the same place as K&N's but without the K&N logo or price. Only drawback is that Hi Flo's dont have the nut at the bottom.
Personally, shipping seems really high.. I get mine for about 8 bucks out the door.
You'll notice that the models numbers match...HF-153 & KN-153 for K&N
Hi Flo's on this Monster.
