The great oil filter debate

My ironhead XLCR never came w/ one, none of those did. but that killer green Pennsylvania crude base oil (70w) keeps her lubed good..
Back in the 70's I had a '71 XLCH 900 and a "72 XLCH 1000. After I rebuilt the '72 due to a broken ring gland I mounted a remote oil filter. Harley learned that you need a filter. Many of my buddies from the '60s all mounted remotes on their Pans. Air cooled is rough on oil. Post a pic of that Cafe Racer.
