 +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.
 +
 +====== Plumbing to Oil Filter ======
 +
 +**Note**: On all spin on oil filters, dirty oil goes in the outside of the filter. Clean oil comes out the center. (( ryder rick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​p=5643382&​highlight=oil+filter+bracket#​post5643382)) \\
 +If you are not sure, start the motor momentarily with the filter off and if oil is pumped out the center port, you have it backwards. ​
 +
 +====== In-Tank to External Spin-on Filter Conversion and Plumbing for Ironheads ======
 +The 1978 parts catalog lists an external oil filter kit (63795-77) for 77-78 models. Filter mounts on an (included) chrome left lower front motor mount (similar to the 82-E84 mount). \\
 +Also in the kit is a chrome oil filter (63796- 77A), hose fitting (63792-77), length of hose, 3 hose clamps (9946) and 3 cable straps. \\
