Can’t find the oil filter on your kick start Ironhead Sporty XLCH?

Well, you can stop looking because for some reason unknown to most people, the Factory neglected to provide this very necessary component on your IronHead.

What to do?

You should buy an aftermarket bolt-on oil filter kit that uses a metal enclosed oil canister filter like those found on the Evos.

Installation is easy.

Bolt on the canister bracket, usually around or on the front motor mount. If there is no "in" or "out" stamped on the unit, don’t worry about it since the lines are universal. The kit always interrupts the return oil line from the engine to the oil tank.

If there are in/out markings, then the return line from the engine oil pump goes to the "in". The "out" goes from the out fitting on the oil canister bracket to the return spigot on the oil tank.

Last but not least. Mount this unit where it will be protected from unforgiving obstacles like sidewalk curbs and, of course, it is better to have the filter exposed to the wind, to aid in oil cooling
