Mobil1/S&S make a filter that is 1/8" less in diameter than the HD filter, part # 31-4101. Much easier to get past he crank sensor plug.
I use the long K&N filter on my racin N'ster to get a little more capacity.

Like oil, oil filters also stir up the pot 
Champion Labs makes the H-D filter proprietary to their specs. Champion Labs also makes the corresponding size in a Walmart Supertech filter for $3 The Walmart filter meets H-D's oem specs. The question is do you want a $3 Walmart filter on your $20k bike?

Any filter designed to work on a Harley Evo or TC will have a bypass (not talking about racing filters).
TC filters will also have an anti-drainback valve.
Evo filters don`t need to have an anti-drainback valve because the filter is in the oil return path.
