Took it out for inspection today. Looks like it is not a paper filter.

Disposable or washable?

 

In your book it shows how you can wash it

 

Really?! Mother Harley outfits a bike with a part they could charge for stock ?? Holy SHEEIT ! The world must have shifted on it's axis !!!

 

From the 2014 manual

7. Clean filter element.
a. Wash the paper/wire mesh filter element (and breather
tubes) in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Do
not strike filter element on a hard surface to dislodge
dirt.
b. Allow filter element to air dry or use low pressure
compressed air blowing from the inside. Do NOT use
air cleaner filter oil on the Harley-Davidson paper/wire
mesh air filter element.
c. Hold the filter element up to a strong light source. The
element is sufficiently clean when light is uniformly
visible through the media.
d. Replace the filter element if damaged or if filter media
cannot be adequately cleaned.
