Anyone have experience with Hi Flo (Filtro) oil filters from Bike Bandit?

Your only moving 3.1 quarts. . why would you need a hi flow oil filter?  Have used them on my car didn't notice a difference except that my wallet left lighter.

I've gone through 3 oil changes with them...so far, so good.

I have one in right now.  It is the first time I am using Hi Flo.  The reason I bought it is because it is relatively cheap and it comes with the rubber gasket.  The motor has not seized yet, not that I expect it to, of course.

Cheers,

I think HiFlo is just a marketing trick, to make you want it.
I would take "Hi Filtering" vs HiFlo anyday :).

meh, they're about the same price as the OEM filter.  I don't plan on having to change the o-ring anytime soon; I just clean it off and keep reusing it.  Their air filters are a good deal though - almost half off.
