Title: HiFlo RC filters Post by: ducatiz on April 13, 2016, 08:21:07 PM New (to the US)
(http://kmoto.lt/image/cache/data/HIFLO/HF153RC-650x650.jpg) These are identical to the K&N filters -- K&N just repackages the HiFlo RC. I have to assume they had a deal with HiFlo to keep the RC version out of hte US for a time and now that deal is done. You can find them for 9-10$ They are 5 oz heavier than the standard HF153. I am sure that's a combination of the bigger filter media and the weld-on nut. Title: Re: HiFlo RC filters Post by: ducatiz on April 13, 2016, 08:22:03 PM $10.24 on amazon prime

Title: Re: HiFlo RC filters Post by: ducpainter on May 16, 2016, 09:28:45 AM ah, i'm too busy for all this wanking Got your own to do? :-*K&N apparently doesn't use HiFlo anymore... bad choice. Agreed...very bad choice. Title: Re: HiFlo RC filters Post by: koko64 on May 16, 2016, 12:01:32 PM They look the way to go.
Title: Re: HiFlo RC filters Post by: ducatiz on May 16, 2016, 01:43:40 PM Got your own to do? :-* it's never-ending Quote Agreed...very bad choice. I am sure there was some sort of time-limited agreement in place, which is why the HiFlo RC version showed up right around the time the KN switched suppliers. I have used the regular HiFlo for a while now wihtout incident. I was using the Baldwin and the PerfForm, but I like the HiFlo construction better. I'll be cutting into the RC model soon.

Assuming you're talking about the never ending part... ;D<snip> I've been using the hi-flows for some time too.I am sure there was some sort of time-limited agreement in place, which is why the HiFlo RC version showed up right around the time the KN switched suppliers.

It's what Eric uses, and Bruce was using them when he had the dealership, and it is over 10 years now since he's been out of there. I was buying them, and 10 year old Michelin DOT track tires...'cuz they were cheaper than Duc OEM filters and Michelin street tires. ;D |
