That is what I use also. 7.19 each on Amazon and free shipping if you buy 5. My local stealer wanted 20 dollars a piece which I think is just outrageous and I dont know who even makes the filter. I would not be against using the oem filter if I knew who made it and if I could get a decent price on them.

Is this Purolator PL14612 one rated for motorcylces? According to Purolator the use of their car filters on motorcycles will void your warranty.
Thanks,

Pretty sure this has been debunked many times. The filter does not know if its on an airplane, motorcycle, car, truck, or sea doo jet ski. An internal combustion engine is just that. ONe of these has been on my 750 Nighthawk for nearly 6K miles and it has not blown up yet. Believe what you want but truth be told the purolator is probably better than the oem cause we dont dont know who Honda farms it out to for the cheapest price. I will never ever support my local HOnda dealers because of price and lack of knowledge and just general BS they come off with that they expect you to take for gospel.
FWIW, at some point in the previous decade the Harley Big Twin engines went through some design/manufacturing changes. Because of this they spec DIFFERENT (Harley branded) oil filters for bikes BEFORE that year and DIFFERENT (Harley branded) oil filters for bikes SINCE that year. The difference between the 2, as I understand it, is that the newer filters are spec'd for finer filtration than the older ones.
So, in that case at least, it actually DOES matter which filter one uses (and they are both motorcycle filters !).
