Agreed Doug, Wix is a class filter, AMERICAN made I believe. Yes they do cost more than many, but it's like the guy on the tv ad says, "pay me now or pay me later" Ride safeI believe you get what you pay for. Wix filters have the best fliteration of most readily available filters. Just like using a good oil a quality filter is just as important.
I find it interesting that AMERICAN made is an issue when it's getting put on a Japanese bike.Agreed Doug, Wix is a class filter, AMERICAN made I believe. Yes they do cost more than many, but it's like the guy on the tv ad says, "pay me now or pay me later" Ride safe![]()
My friend, not to argue at all, but did you read Doug's post about Wix having the best filteration? For the boys that don't intend to keep a bike for many years, yes any old filter will do, get you by to the next bike. And yes Sugar Bear wears the American flag in his heart and on his sleeve, when a company in the states can match the quality of Yamaha, I will for sure take a look. I once saw a picture in Easyrider(strictly anti rice grinder) with a close up of the front brake section( Of A HARLEY!!) and it clearly stated"made in Japan"I find it interesting that AMERICAN made is an issue when it's getting put on a Japanese bike.
I know a lot of people that swear by the $2.99 jobbie at Wally World. They're not necessarily bad just because they're cheap.
