How high should the oil level in the tank be? Also, I've noticed a few Ironheads with additional filters on the left engine mount, is this necessary since there is one in the tank?

Mine has no dipstick. It showed the bottom of the filter cold so I put in 1/2 quart of the same oil the PO used & started it. Once it ran a little I looked again & the level was up about 1/2 way on the filter so I went riding. Where do you get the Pro-Form filters? They used Castrol 20W50 racing oil & I want it out. Seems like everyone elses bike, it uses oil & I hate that

The ProForm filters are good. I used them for a while, until I found a decent replaceable filter cartridge that will fit in the stock canister. Either can be gotten out of most any Harley aftermarket catalog. The best I remember the ProForms are 8-9 bucks. I get the replaceable cartridge elements from Jireh for $1.99 each.
