+ | The stock oil filter (HD 63782-80T) is the small one that is usually used on custom bikes. Chrome or black can be found. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=563241)) \\ | ||

+ | However, it is also commonly known that the more oil you hold, the more motor heat can be transferred to dissipate that heat. \\ | ||
+ | Race bikes have huge oil tanks for that reason. ((Monte03 of the XLFORUM http://xlforum.net/forums/showthread.php?t=563241)) \\ | ||
+ | If you go the filter route, be sure to purge the lines by bleeding the pump front nipple first while running. \\ | ||
+ | Then take the return line and place it into a pail before you connect to the barb tank fitting so you assure a complete circle has been made. | ||
