Don't worry one bit about using the Hiflofiltro (HiFlo) filters, and yes, the model HF170C (Chrome) and HF170B (Black) filters are for the Harley EVO engines, including the Sportsters.
Hiflofiltro is a OE manufacturer, and their filters exceed all OEM specifications. They are also TUV certified, which mean they have passed very high quality and performance standards.
The HiFlo filters are a very high quality filter.

I did do some cross referencing of the oil filter. I went to the stealer and asked what the filter number number was, and got "its harley part #-----."
Went to Napa Auto Parts and they had the book and said its a 3614.
