Harley Air Filters — Premium Air Intake Solutions for Your Harley-Davidson

Welcome to our Harley Air Filters collection — your go-to source for high-quality air filters engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Whether you ride a Harley Touring, M8 Softail, Sportster or Dyna platform, upgrading your air filtration system can give your engine cleaner airflow, better performance, and longer life.

Why Upgrade Your Harley Air Filter

• Enhanced Engine Protection. Every ride draws in a lot of air — and along with it, dust, debris, and abrasive particles. A quality air filter helps trap those contaminants, preventing them from entering the engine cylinders and causing premature wear to piston rings, cylinder walls, and bearings

• Improved Airflow & Performance. Stock paper filters are often restrictive. High-flow aftermarket filters — especially cotton-gauze or oiled media designs — allow more air into your engine, which helps optimize fuel-air combustion. Riders often report crisper throttle response, smoother acceleration, and potential modest gains in horsepower.

• Better Fuel Efficiency & Engine Efficiency. When your Harley breathes easily, the engine doesn’t have to overwork or adjust the fuel mixture excessively. This can improve overall engine efficiency and may help maintain better fuel economy under normal riding conditions.

• Long-Term Value & Reusability (on Select Filters). Some premium filters are washable and reusable — meaning you can clean, re-oil, and reinstall them instead of replacing them every few thousand miles. Over time, this can save money and reduce waste compared to disposable paper filters.

What to Look for When Choosing a Harley Air Filter

1. Fitment for Your Specific Harley Model & Year: Harley-Davidson models use different airbox styles — round, oval, or side-access (“trap door”) designs — depending on the year and trim. Ensure the filter you select matches your bike’s model, engine type, and airbox configuration.

2. Filter Media & Filtration Efficiency: Quality filters often use cotton gauze or oiled cotton media with wire mesh for support. This combination helps maximize airflow while still trapping fine dust and debris, offering a balance between flow and protection.

3. Seal Integrity: The filter’s sealing surface (rubber or urethane gasket) must form an airtight seal in your airbox. A poor seal can let unfiltered air bypass the element — compromising engine protection.

4. Maintenance & Cleaning Requirements: If opting for a reusable filter, plan for periodic cleaning and re-oiling (rather than regular disposable replacements). Proper maintenance ensures good airflow and filtration over time.

5. Performance vs. Daily Use Balance: For everyday riding, many high-quality filters strike a good balance — improved airflow and engine response without sacrificing filtration or requiring constant maintenance. For heavier-duty or dusty conditions, more frequent inspections may be needed.

Our Harley Air Filter Collection

Here at GetLowered, our Harley air filter lineup covers a wide array of models and rider needs:

• Touring Models: Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Ultra models — including both pre-2014 “round/oval” airboxes and later “trap-door” designs.

• Dyna Models: For owners of older Super Glide, Wide Glide, Low Rider and other Dyna bikes, we carry compatible filters even though Dyna is no longer in production.

Do I really need an aftermarket air filter?
If you want better throttle response, improved airflow, and stronger engine protection — especially under heavy throttle, long rides, or dusty conditions — a quality aftermarket or high-flow filter is a smart, cost-effective upgrade over stock paper filters.
