I have the screaming eagle heavy breather on my road king.
I can't find any part number on the filter. How do I know if it is one that needs to be oiled after cleaning or not?

Thanks

 

Hope this helps

Didn't you read the description or instructions?

In the description: Washable and rechargeable filter

In the instructions:
1. Inspect the air filter element every 5000 miles (8000 km), or more often under dusty conditions.
NOTE
The use of cleaning, drying or oiling methods or products other than those shown will damage the filter and void the manufacturer's warranty.
K&NŽ Air Filter Cleaner is available from a Harley-Davidson dealer, either alone (1 qt/0.95 L sprayer bottle, Part No. 99883-88T) or a 12 fl oz/0.35 L sprayer bottle as part of the Filter Care Service Kit (99850-92T).
K&N Air Filter Oil is also available from a Harley-Davidson dealer, either alone (12.25 oz/347 gram aerosol can, Part No. 99882-88T) or a 6.5 oz/184 gram aerosol can as part of the Filter Care Service Kit.
DO NOT OVER-OIL THE AIR FILTER. Over-oiling may interfere with the proper performance of the engine and/or certain engine components. If oil is still draining or dripping from the filter media twenty minutes after oiling, clean and oil the filter element again.
2. To clean the element:
a. Loosen the hose clamp retaining the air filter element assembly to the air tube. Separate the element from the air tube.
b. Tap the element to dislodge any loose dirt, then gently brush with a soft bristle brush.
c. Spray air filter cleaner liberally onto the cotton filter media and let soak for ten minutes, OR roll or soak the cotton filter media in a shallow pan of air filter cleaner. Remove immediately, and let soak for ten minutes.
d. Rinse off the filter media (flowing from the clean side to the dirty side), with low-pressure tap water.
e. After rinsing, shake off all excess water, and let the filter media air dry. DO NOT use compressed air or a heat gun to speed drying.
f. After the filter media is completely dry, EITHER spray air filter oil along each pleat, once only, holding the spray nozzle approximately 3 inches (76 mm) away from the media, OR carefully use a squeeze bottle to deposit oil along each pleat, once only. Let the oil absorb into the filter media for twenty minutes before proceeding. After twenty minutes, inspect the filter media, and carefully apply oil to any remaining visible white spots on the filter media, and allow to absorb.
3. Install the air filter element onto the intake tube approximately 5/8 inch (16 mm). Check that the filter element end cap logo is upright. Tighten the clamp around the filter element flange to
Torque: 3.4–4.5 Nˇm (30–40 in-lbs) band clamp

 

Do you know for sure it's not one of the dry filters that HD used to sell? The filter media looks a like a dry filter. The dry filters have a thicker, tighter woven media than the cotton gauze filter that requires oil.

 

What is the part number for the air cleaner assembly? Take it off and look for the part number. Then search that.

The filter in your picture looks blueish. Did Harley ever use a blue filter?

What year and model bike is it on?

Does the inside of the filter feel oily?

Spray a lite mist of water on the inside, does it get absorbed or bead on the fabric?

 

Thanks guys.

It's on a 01 road king.

The intake was on the bike when I got it, so I dont have instructions on it.

I cant find a part number anywhere on the filter.

 

I'd think the chrome endcap is removable and the number is embossed on the rubber

 

yeah, I've tried to pry on that end cap some, maybe its glued on.

 

I mentioned it before, take the air cleaner off of the bike. Look for a part number for the air cleaner. Or, how about a picture of the air cleaner assembly.
