You can't. The new, white ones that the MoCo are now using are paper and must be replaced. If you have a older one that had the K&N filter then you can wash and reuse it.

RE: Cleaning air filters, SE
The Arlen Ness big sucker is a K&N, and when I was at the HD shop yesterday, we took some measurements and found that the K&N filter for the big sucker is exactly the same in demisions, mounting holes, etc, as the SE filter. Thus, if you have a SE that needs a new filter, you can get the Ness for about 48.00.

My SE filter kit #29440-99c came with cleaning instructions. Says to dip 3/4 of filter thickness in cleaner ( HD cleaner of course ), rinse with water from inside out and let air dry. Do not use any oil as it is a dry filter. I'm going to get the Ness filter before I have to clean mine.

This link will give you the directions for cleaning if it is the K&N and not the blue banded one http://www.knfilters.com/clningins.htm
Also take a look here for the oiling kits https://www.hdforums.com/m_67662/tm.htm
