I have the stock filter currently, thinking I should go with a high-flow filter now. What's a decent, not-too-high priced easy replacement filter ?

J jhilb Founding Member Jul 2, 1999 60 0 0 Northern, IL Jun 29, 2005 #4 Jun 29, 2005 #4 OK. Then I guess the next question is, is it worth going to a high-flow or am I ok just replacing with the stock filter again?

I believe the part # is FG800A or something like that???

I would go with a Motorcraft or Purolator as mentioned. Unless you see the need for a free flower (which I cant answer). Good luck. BTW, nice ride. I would love to have one.
