Sportster Air Cleaners

Air Cleaners for the air-cooled Harley-Davidson Sportster, '57-'22. Usually the first thing riders change, and with exhaust and a tune the cheapest real gain a stock motor will give you.

What Is In This Collection

Air filters and air filter faceplates, from Arlen Ness, K&N, Vance & Hines, Performance Machine, Trask and Feuling.

Sportster Fitment

Sportster covers '57-'22 - XL883, XL1200, Iron, Forty-Eight, Roadster and Nightster. The air-cooled XL is cable throttle. The liquid-cooled RH Sportster is a different motorcycle and does not share these parts - see RH Sportster.

Years that change what fits:

2004 - the Sportster moved to a rubber-mounted frame, which changes a great deal of chassis hardware.
2007 - fuel injection replaced the carburetor across the range.

Throttle Body And Motor Decide It

Carbureted, Delphi/CV injection and throttle-by-wire intakes all mount differently, and Evo, Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight have different mounting patterns and breather arrangements. A freer-flowing intake also changes the air/fuel ratio, so most manufacturers recommend a tune alongside - see Tuners & Fuel Systems. Emissions statements belong to the manufacturer.
