I use Amsoil and the Purolator "PureONE" oil filter from Advance. Here's another thread on this:

I havent ran PureOnes on my Buell but because of experiences with them on my car I will never buy another one for any vehicke I own. I did an oil change and tightened up the new PureOne filter I had. Started it up and no leaks at the moment. A few days later I was leaking oil around the filter and upon inspection I found out that the filter had ran out of thread before the gasket was fully seated so it was like the filter was made wrong. I ended up getting another one and it did the same thing. I now no longer run there filters. I run a Bosch on the Buell and Wix on my car. So if you do run that on your Buell make sure you check it and make sure you arent seeping oil from it.

I use a Mobil 1 filter and oil. I've heard a lot of thumbs up for Amsoil here, and a lot of thumbs down for Amsoil at every HD dealer I've been too.

Figure I'd go the safe route and use Mobil 1. Haven't heard bad about it from either crowd.

Filter was M1-103.

any comments on that royal purple oil and what weight should be run, im getting several different options

 

[McMurphy]

Heard a lot of conflicting stories on RP. If you go with it, make sure it's the Max Cycle, should be 20w50

I run RB, its has done a great job for me and no trouble at all. 20w50 AMSoil is great too, not a huge difference in price, just depends on what you want to search for when your out of town and a qt low...

I also run a ]K&P engineering reusable oil filter Pretty handy and a good looking piece of equipment.

google is the ****. Check it out some time.

I rock the K&N filter number KN-177 or HP1003, they are the same just different colors, and I use mobil 1 20w-50 vtwin oil
