81 Knuckle Aftermarket Oil Filter
My cousin just picked up an 81 Wide Glide in great shape and has had a lot of new work done to it.
It has an almost square & polished oil filter housing that holds a round filter. The access door is on one end and is held by 4 screws.
I remember seeing one a long time ago ('80's) on a sportster. Can't find out how made it, what it is and/or if it's a POS.

The way the filter tube sets in the housing with the inner hole and spring, the oil is pumped through the inner hole, then through the filter media which is somewhat like the old brass gas filters, I'm just not sure it's a good system since there's not a lot of them around. So was looking for who made it and any maintenance info.
Thanks
