Smile Harley Golf Oil Bath Air Filter Conversion

My 1970 Harley Davidson Golf cart has a Oil Bath style Air Filter. Has anyone ever converted the oil bath to a modern day paper filter style or know if there be any issues doing so? Considering converting as part of restoration or leaving as is.

I checked by using the "forum search tool" and looked foe "air filter".
In the results there is a thread called "gas leak" that has a K&N filter conversion with discussion and pictures.
Good luck

There should be no issues except mechanical.

Fyi... on my '66, Im going to experiment with a few different things and I'll report back my findings. I've talked to 4-5 legit mechanics and they've all agreed the current "oil soaked" filter is over kill and a PITA to maintain. Im not going to be on gravel roads or off roading much, so Im more worried about keeping the chunks out. One mechanic suggested to wrap a lightly oiled cloth around the opening in the arm where the current filter sits (remove current filter housing completely), and hold it on with a zip tie.

I'll chime in after some testing. One thing for sure I'm not keeping the current system.

I'm about to service the Air Cleaner in my '71. It's probably an Oil Bath original. I only have about 10 hours on it since I bought it.

If you can find the factory paper canisters it should mount right up. They frequent eBay.
