Default EVO Oil Filter Made in USA

Just an FYI, there is still at least one company making Evo spec oil filters in the USA.

Baldwin BF 1413.

Rock auto carries it as a Hastings LF576, but the filter they sent is a Baldwin BF 1413.

Hey Marty @Racepres , you`ll be happy to know these filters do not have anti drain back valves.

Great News... I am getting by with the Wix, still...but I prefer Made in USA ..Certainly will Not run anything with an ADBV..unless I had a Machine with the Filter in the Feed Side...(think 5-speed Sportsters and Much Newer Big twins) I run the Baldwin B474 in the old 4-speed FXWG with Evo Engine.. ...Oh...wait...same filter on the '84's (4-speeds) the one under the swing arm... Anyway...thank you, another Option that I did Not know about!!!

That's good info..I was thinking of using that style on my Twinkie but didn't know if any one made one.... With the S&S plate and pump I don't think I have to worry about it..

Lifetime K&P oil filters. I've had this same filter on my '09 FXD, took it off that bike when it took a dump and put it on the '98 FXD, took it off that bike when I got T-boned 3 years ago and now have it on my '97 FLSTC. I can't do the math as that was a lousy subject for me, but I know it's been well paid-for-itself if I almost religiously change oil every 2500 miles, figuring the '97 I put 85,000 miles on, the '98 I put ~30,000 miles, and this '97 has around 12,000 miles so far. It's also so much easier to just clean it and put it back on, though I'd recommend using something other than one of the OL's pots to clean it in .

Keep in mind
there is More than One Evo Oil Filter.. not counting with and without ADBV, there is Metric and American Threads, and still one other Version...that is different at the OD.. all for (supposedly) Evo's..
"Evo Spec" is more about No ADBV and the Micron Size of the Filter..

Yes, thanks for catching that.

These bikes take a different filter; they have metric threads....What was HD thinking?

1983-1986 FXE, FXS, FXWG

1980-1985 XL
