The KN-303 filter is what is used on my 2005 Yamaha R1. The filter has a 17mm lug on the top, which makes installation really easy. There is limited space between the filter and the headers, so being able to use an end wrench to install it is very nice. This saves having to have a special filter wrench for the OEM style filters. It also has a little hole where you can safety wire it for when you go to the track. Very nice filter.

The product from K&N is excellent. It has beaten most of the filters that compete against it in head to head studies. The KN303 is made for the GL1500, 1988 to 2000, but what many rides of newer GL1800's may not realize, it fits their bikes also. The K&N designed for the GL1800, KN204 is shorter and has less filter area. The KN303 is a perfect fit for those wanting to have a little more filter area and still having excellent filtering properties.

I use this exact filter on my 05 Honda Silver Wing. Honda recomends Torqing the filter. And the 17mm Nut makes it easy. Bought the bike used with about 2k miles. Rode 1500 miles and my oil is still clean. This is a Heavy filter for its size. Due to the steel case.

As advertised, it fits my 98 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. It was cheaper to get this filter on Amazon than to buy the stock one at the bike shop (even with shipping). No leaks, looks good, works great. Feels like a solid filter (solid construction).

Excellent filter for 2009 Kawasaki ER6N. Fits great, love the price, easy installation, I used my hand to tighten it on and it has been fine so far: no leakage.

I ordered these for my 2005 Yamaha SX230HO instead of using Yamaha OEM filters. I like these better since they have the 17mm fitting at the bottom which makes removing a piece of cake with a socket instead of a oil wrench. I would think these are better filters too.

Really the only option compared to Kawasaki brand filter. The exterior nut makes its very easy to torque perfectly. Combined with the K&N air filter (another quality product) my Concours 14 sings.

I have used K&N filters on many different bikes over the years and totaling over 200,000 miles and have never had a problem with them or any engine I was using them on. Always a proper fit and no installation troubles.

I rate K & N filters at the top and these were available at an excellent price, even with shipping included!

And it does its job. The 17mm hex, as everyone under the sun has pointed out, is a huge plus. Especially since my filter (FZ6) is tucked in tight and hard to get a hand or even a filter wrench on, and 17mm is the same as the drain plug... one tool oil changes. It hasn't caused sudden engine failure or even leaked oil, so I have nothing to complain about.
