Make sure the bolt pattern is the same.

Lol!
You running the same race I did years ago!😂

If you remove filter and walk into HD they may just hand you one as that is how mine got solved after a fee years if scratching my head and blowing it out with air.🙃

Looks like someone on here may know the part number.

I have my bike. I seem to be going around in circles just like
I did 2 years ago. 🤔😄
Amazon Best match.
Ok, I think you may be over thinking this. The one in your original post is a Harley part and does not get oiled, the K&N you linked to at Amazon is a K&N and does require oiling. I assume (uh oh) that the Harley one gets replaced every so often where the K&N filter gets cleaned, oiled and reused for much longer life span.
Someone will come along shortly to agree or disagree with me.
Have a day.

@Stratattack Your air filter is a stock unit, no oiling required. It is a washable unit that is reusable and will last as long as you keep it cleaned. I made the same mistake you did and cleaned and oiled the same unit several years ago. Oil got sucked into the intake and clogged the IAC causing a stumble at idle and when decelerating. Definitely not a good feeling in turns either. 😱

Wash and dry - use any degreaser - let it air dry and get back to business. Of course there’s always plenty of aftermarket systems you can waste money on like the rest of us. 😉

Haha, it can be a bich can't it, I've spent way, way too much time on
this issue, couple years back and now again. Good that I got a heads up
on the microscopic DRY FILTER note stamped at the bottom of the housing,
that was a start in the right direction.
My dealer is a long way off, distance wise, I looked on the Harley Portal, didn't
have any luck, the only Dry type I find with the same bolt pattern is
being sold on ebay, and the ones I find there look like crap.
The K&N filter would be perfect (amazon) , but I guess they only sell
oiled for my bike.

Cool, I'll use a degreaser next cleanse, I have plenty, just
was too 'slow' to think of it a few days ago.
...and so yeah, once in a while I'd noticed occasional coughing,
and it was terrible at parking lot idle maneuvering, now it's
brilliant at idle, lol, feather the clutch, no problems,
and no hesitation when getting on it a bit out of the
hole.
I would like to waste a little bit of cash on a chromed
mounting bracket though, but I highly doubt I would be
able to find one. I really dig the look of the exposed
filter even though the chrome cover I have is mint,

Issue Solved; (would still like to find what I have 'new', as a backup)

Solution;
Someone mentioned the stamped on filter housing note; DRY FILTER!!!!!
I was able to verify this by putting on my coke bottle glasses, and
re-learning how to read.
I cleaned out the filter, dried it and ran the bike, runs better than
it had been lately.
I find that I can get an Oiled K&N filter from amazon, but was not
successful in finding a 'DRY' OEM or what I think would be an equal
to OEM anywhere.
Luckily the filter I have looks to be in great shape, so
there I am, I'll just keep riding.

Thanks all, back on the road.
