Oil filter relocation
Where are you guys re-locating the oil filter mount wen changing to a tranny case that has the oil tank below instead of on the right side of the frame on the older Evo bagger? Asking for a friend. :-)

When I rode with a club, Big Nose 1%er, GBNF rode a Shovelhead homemade motorcickle he had dubbed The Milwaukee Flyer. He hung the oil filter out on a front down leg of the frame. Used an oversized filter and got extra oil capacity ( always a good thing) plus a little more cooling. Just a thought..😉

Why do people install after market oil filters, if the stock one is over kill? Myself I never like taxing the oil system, because I have never considered harley to be generous with that the equip their bikes with.

Folks are convinced that More is always Better (why Humans are getting Fatter??) But..The Harley Oiling system, particularly the Shovelhead...and Early Ironheads, have a Horrible time Returning Oil...with Nothing in the system (XLCH). But...none of my affair.
