So, installed this this exactly per instructions. Everything went fine but now oil filter will not go on. Best I can determine its hitting the motor mount.
Ideas? This thing was supposed to be a direct fit.
i see it says
Some Sportster models may require rotating the mounting of the 4700 offset oil filter adapter 180 degrees, placing the hoses above the filter In these
installations, the anti-rotation device is not required, and you may now skip to step 16.

In the end this is the answer. It would be cool if the instructions made some mention of WHY some Sportster require that orientation. Oh well, its on now.
