Well, U gotta do the math. Original Honda Wing get like 42 mpg. But that is a 900 lb bike plus rider. I got an extra 1,200 lbs alone with the trike kit and a few extra's, so close to an added 1,300 lbs on a bike built to only pull 900 lbs (so U talking 2,200 lbs plus my big carcass). SO yeah, mileage gonna go down big time. Positive side: No issues parking, leaning, driving, sitting at a light, sitting in traffic. Only down side issues: I have to feed da "pig" more // I have no way to get that Monster in the air so Oil Charges are a real "mother", LOL. // And there is no counter steer/leaning on the ride, no can do on a Trike, so curves are taken different, U have to as the shooting course for like an SRT/MOUT training is: Cut the Pie on the Corners: start wide and push into the turn/corners on any substantial curves.Geez, @turkeybird56 , even my Hog gets 43 mpg mixed roads, 47 mpg highway.
And it's only air-cooled. 1746 cc
Your machine be a pig!
BOIRD NEVA beat his hossie (actually wife's AQHA mare, that I still have even tho she passed over 6 years ago)(My gelding died 2 years ago)Get up horsie! Get up!
RP 20-500 bit skinnier but longer, and with your lift geometry, maybe the issue. I have not tried to do ne thing except XG 10060 Fram or stock on mine.Went to change my oil tonight and for the life of me could not get the RP 20-500 to slip in to place. Thankfully, I had an SRT filter on hand and substituted with that. There's a slightly raised portion of the steering rack? right below the filter housing location that I just couldn't angle the filter around to screw in. What geometry-jitsu am I not doing correctly? I do have a BDS 6in coilover lift kit, unsure if that's the reason. Had been previously using the RP 20-820 filter w/o issue. Perplexing lol.

ADDED: 1832 CC, and heck no, not air cooled, flat 6 motor, makes monster amount of heat, LOL. And my base bike is a 2006 GL, with the 5 speed, low 1st, next 3 acceleration, and 5th final overdrive tranny.
damn, I think it is time to no longer recommend the 20-500 for the 5.7. Fitament charts are wrong, some rams wont take this filter. Common RP fix this supply issue with the best filter for our rams, the 20-820!Went to change my oil tonight and for the life of me could not get the RP 20-500 to slip in to place.

I loved counter steering my 2008 HD Ultra Glide, but I always scrapped the bottoms of the foot boards, LMAO. But alas, I got the Wing Trike so Momma could ride, but alas, she got 2 rides and was gone, grrrrrrrr. Yup, life suks, and I neva have ever rode with Ape Bars, LOL.I read you really got to push on the handlebars to take curves.
Trading balance for Popeye forearms, money, and gas?
I just stick with the XG 10060, full synthetic media, works for DIS BOIRD.damn, I think it is time to no longer recommend the 20-500 for the 5.7. Fitament charts are wrong, some rams wont take this filter. Common RP fix this supply issue with the best filter for our rams, the 20-820!
is that smaller or larger then xg3?I just stick with the XG 10060, full synthetic media, works for DIS BOIRD.
Dunno, not ever seen/had a xg3, U mean xg2??? The Fram Ultra XG 10060 basically same size as stock filter (which I hand to SA to be used when having oil changed at Dealership). If I quit having the dealership do, I might play and buy the bigger filter and see, but OK with the stock size as truck is a driveway princess ne way). But I also get free tire rotations when I have Dealership do oil, and I always Check and Verify, but I do have a good dealership and I have the SA insure rims torqued to 130 ft pounds with torque wrench, and not an air gun, which I also check, lol. I even have a lil AC drain hack on truck, which keeps the drain from having blowback and garbage clog the AC drain also (since it has a horizontal drain in the path of the air flow around the motor, stupid design/instituted when I discovered my drain was clogging and BOIRD was not happy, so had to improvise).is that smaller or larger then xg3?
I see you are opting for the small filter bird, I would stick to the large ones, we know they have better flow.

Do I need to search? will the XG2 fit on the '17 Hemi?Yeah, the Fram XG10060 is the OEM d inky sized filter, akin to RP 10-48. Next Fram size up is XG10575, then the XG2 is the big'n.
Do I need to search? will the XG2 fit on the '17 Hemi?
I'm not the guy to ask, I already let people down on the 20-500, I'm retiring.Do I need to search? will the XG2 fit on the '17 Hemi?
The xg2 should fit, the xp899 wix fits just fine on my truck and the xg2 is only slightly larger. Ill test it next oil changeBurla,
Don't retire. I already tried the 20-500. Did not fit. I have my doubts on the XG2. But will look at it. I would like the best flow and filtration of course.
