AS FOR THE OIL FILTER I WOULD PURCHASE A J&P REUSABLE FILTER. A lot of guys including myself run them. No oil flow issues with them. S&S recommends a 30 micron filter which is almost impossible to find as most are 10 micron filters which according to S&S is to restrictive.

HMAN will become famous soon enough
Yep, get with MadDog (Don at Valueteck). He can hook you up with a K&P reusable oil filter and a Scavanger oil change unit.....awesome stuff. As far as what oil to use, opinions vary. A lot of folks here use a good synthetic oil, Mobil1, Amsoil, Castrol...ect. Do some searching on manuals. I believe there is a post with a link to service manuals. That should tell you what you need to know concerning quantity.
