so after waiting 3 months for my front exhaust band to arrive from the usa via jersey HD it's finally arrived.

The parts label appears to have a manufacturing date of 9th March 2023, Origin USA, Buell, Wilwaukee

So it appears although it was showing 'in stock', I had to wait for it to be made by ... Buell Wilwaukee !?

Then I realized I've got to take the exhaust off (again) to fit it lol, next time it's off for that then......

I watched an interesting Yutube vid on modern HD oil filters vs Fram filters. According to the host and the break down look inside, the Fram was closer to the ‘classic’ HD filter while the new made in China HD item looked quite poor. The Fram even had a superior none reverse centre seal. How good are the current Buell HD supplied items? Lots of equivalent filters for XBs out there.

What are we to believe about other HD service items?

I always use K&N oil filters, I think they must perform slightly better due to being a wee bit longer
