Default 2004 sportster stock air filter cleaning

My air filter is not to dirty and i was wondering if anyone has blown their air filter out with air to clean it a little bit and if that would be ok?

Yeah, you can hit it with some compressed air. You just want to take it easy so you don't rip the paper. I would suggest just going ahead and getting a gauze filter that you won't have to worry about replacing...ever.

I spray degreaser on my filter, rinse it with hot water and let it dry over night.
