K & N oil filters are now banned by a number of motorcycle road racing organizations ... too many leaks / failures, most from the welded on nut ...
I used one of these, the nut was really of no practical benefit to me and I ended up getting just a trace of oil leakage through the holes drilled in it...I guess to run a wire through?
Ended up giving the 2nd one I had bought to a friend who liked them, I had no intention of using it at that point. I have been using Tokyo Roki filters with Subaru branding for a while.
(returned the K&N air filter I had bought at the same time without putting it in my car)
