Drag Specialties Premium Washable Air Filter Element For Screamin’ Eagle Harley 1990-1999

Drag Specialties Premium Washable Air Filter for 1990–1999 Harley Screamin’ Eagle Stage 1

Restore the breathing power of your Evolution engine with the Drag Specialties Premium Washable Air Filter Element. This high-performance filter is a direct replacement for the original element found in 1990–1999 Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle Stage 1 Air Cleaner kits. Designed for the rider who demands both vintage soul and modern efficiency, this filter replaces outdated paper technology with advanced cotton gauze media, ensuring your “Blockhead” engine gets the oxygen-rich air it needs to deliver maximum torque and smooth acceleration.

High-Flow Cotton Gauze Filtration

The Drag Specialties Premium Element is constructed using four layers of surgical-grade cotton gauze, sandwiched between epoxy-coated aluminum wire mesh. This design offers a significant increase in surface area compared to standard filters, reducing intake restriction and smoothing out airflow into the carburetor or throttle body. The result is a noticeable improvement in throttle response and overall engine clarity. The filter comes pre-oiled from the factory, featuring the iconic performance red tint that indicates it is ready for immediate installation.

Washable and Reusable Design

One of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make for your classic Harley is switching to a washable air filter. Unlike the stock Screamin’ Eagle paper filters that must be replaced once they become clogged with road grime, the Drag Specialties element can be cleaned, dried, and re-oiled for a lifetime of use. This sustainability not only saves you money on routine maintenance but also ensures that your bike is never running with a choked or restricted intake system. It is a “buy it once” solution for the long-term owner.

OEM-Spec Fitment and Construction

Drag Specialties has engineered this filter to meet or exceed the original Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle specifications. It features a rugged polyurethane frame that provides an airtight seal against the backing plate, preventing “dirty” air from bypassing the filter media. The internal mesh supports are designed to withstand the heavy vibrations and intake pulses unique to the 80-cubic-inch Evolution V-Twin. Whether you are running a stock CV carburetor, a Mikuni HSR, or early fuel injection, this filter provides the stable airflow required for proper tuning.

Fitment and Model Compatibility

This filter is specifically designed for 1990–1999 Harley-Davidson models equipped with a round Stage 1 Screamin’ Eagle Air Cleaner (typically 5.5″ to 6″ diameter). Compatibility includes:

• Softail Series: Heritage, Fat Boy, Custom, and Springer (1990–1999).
• Dyna Series: Low Rider, Super Glide, and Wide Glide (1991–1999).
• Touring Series: Road King, Electra Glide, and Tour Glide (1990–1998).
• Note: Only fits models equipped with the Screamin’ Eagle Stage 1 aftermarket kit; will not fit standard “Ham Can” stock air boxes.

For maintenance, we recommend inspecting the filter every 5,000 miles and performing a full clean and re-oil every 10,000 to 15,000 miles using a standard air filter recharge kit.
