Harley Fuel Filter

[keikat2]

Is there any reason why I should use a Harley OEM Fuel Filter for replacement on my 2014 Tri-Glide? Even though aftermarket fuel filters appear to be same design and manufactured paper material, is there something special about the Harley OEM fuel filter I should be aware of?

Thank you,

Allen S.

How do you know they "appear to be same design and manufactured paper material"?

The OEM filter will be made to OEM specifications, and if it were my machine, I would not go through all the work of gutting the fuel tank and re assembling using parts of unknown manufacture...

The OEM filter is 20 dollars.

HD filter is spec'd right for your trike and reasonably priced compared to aftermarket

The reason I was asking about using an aftermarket fuel filter for my 2014 Tri-Glide is because I cannot seem to find a Harley OEM fuel filter without having to go to a Harley dealership. I have searched EBAY, Amazon, and the actual Harley Davidson Parts website. In turn, it seems a Harley dealership website (IE: Surdyke, Wisconsin Harley, etc....) seems to be the only place to order an OEM fuel filter other than "fighting the traffic" going to the Dallas Harley-Davidson dealership, near Garland, Texas, to get one.

Thank you for your responses.

I would probably go with the Drag Specialties filter then

I would have been easier if he would have just said in the beginning it has nothing to do with price or quality but ease of availability...:Shrug:.

I`m not understanding why you are having such a difficult time with this part...

In about one minute I came to this on the HD parts site:
