OSP is right on. I have done a ton of research on these and run them on all my bikes. I run K&P filters. Look them up. I'm on my phone so cut me some slack.
Yes you clean them with brake clean and an air hose.
I have the pics and data to back it up, you just have to wait till later. I'll post what I found.
Bottom line is this
They filter better than what the paper guys "claim".
The paper efficiancy drops off huge after few miles.
The ss filters flow 10 times better. Certainly its all only gg to flow at the rate ur oil pump puts out, however, that won't even happen if the paper filter clogs. Untill... That paper pos goes into bypass to relieve the excessive psi. Then that oil isn't even being filtered. With the ss flows and the fact their efficiancy doesn't drop off, this isn't an issue. Big big plus.
As far as price. They cost about $125. A k&n is about $14. So basically after 9 changes. Your in payback, on top of better filtration.
Worried about not using it completely? Don't worry, u cud resell it. Or like me, I just took them off on sale of the old bike, got lucky cause they work on the new bikes too.
Oh and I have a guy you can buy them from. I'll post his info later as well.
