I had one of those on a motorcycle I used to own. Came with the bike, went with the bike when sold. A bit of a pain to clean.
You should know that they are not rated the same as the S&S recommended filter. K&P's website, under FAQs, talks about their micron rating, which is 35 microns. The S&S recommended filter is 10 micron rated. The K&P website gets a bit disingenuous when talking about OEM filter ratings, noting that the OEM rating is average and insinuating the OEM filter could be passing much larger particles. But it is hard to average 10 if you are passing 50 micron particles also. Also I don't believe the K&P unit has an anti drainback valve as part of that design, which is part of the S&S recommended design. Not sure how important that is to the X-wedge.
From the X-Wedge owners manual: "The S&S® X-Wedge® engine requires a spin-on filter with an anti-drain back valve, rated at 10 microns."
At the end of the day it probably won't make that much difference on these machines that only do limited mileage per year/oil change, but I wouldn't recommend the K&P filter over the S&S filter.
