S&S Cycle Engine Oil Filter Bracket

S&S Cycle Billet Engine Oil Filter Brackets

When it comes to V-twin performance engineering, few names carry the weight of S&S Cycle. That same obsession with precision and function extends to their engine oil filter brackets — a component that might seem minor but plays a surprisingly important role in serviceability, engine cleanliness, and long-term oiling system performance.

Engineered Around the S&S 124" Twin Cam Platform

S&S Cycle's billet oil filter bracket was originally designed to complete their own T124 Twin Cam engine builds, ensuring the oiling system matched the same exacting standards as the rest of the powerplant. The bracket was specially designed and created for S&S 124" Twin Cam engines, but also makes a great cosmetic and functional upgrade for engines built with stock Twin Cam crankcases. That dual-purpose utility is a hallmark of thoughtful S&S engineering — a part built for their top-shelf motor that still delivers real value to riders running factory cases.

Precision CNC Machining — No Compromises

The quality difference between a cast bracket and a CNC-machined billet piece is immediately apparent, and S&S Cycle doesn't cut corners here. The bracket features no voids or other casting defects in the material to cause leaks, and is made in the USA. That void-free construction is critical in an oil system component — any porosity in a lesser part can result in seepage under operating pressure, a problem that simply doesn't exist with a proper billet piece.

Improved Filter Clearance for Easier Service

One of the most practical advantages of the S&S bracket is its repositioned filter mounting point. The position of the filter has been shifted slightly to give additional clearance between the filter body and the crankcase for easier filter installation and removal. Anyone who has ever skinned knuckles wrestling a filter off a tight Twin Cam motor will immediately appreciate this simple but effective design improvement.

Oil Cooler Integration Built In

Perhaps the most forward-thinking feature of the S&S Cycle oil filter bracket is its built-in oil cooler compatibility. The bracket is also machined to make it easy to install an oil cooler in the pressure-side of the system; if a cooler is not needed, simply install the pipe plugs in the threaded holes in the filter bracket instead of the hose fittings. This means the bracket is ready to grow with your build — whether you're running it stock today and planning a cooler upgrade down the road, the infrastructure is already there.

Broad Fitment Across the Twin Cam Era

S&S Cycle offers their oil filter bracket in both polished and chrome finishes, and fitment spans a wide range of Twin Cam-equipped Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The bracket fits 1999–2017 Harley-Davidson models with Twin Cam motors (except 2006 Dyna), as well as S&S T-Series motors. Whether you're building a custom, refreshing a bagger, or completing an S&S crate engine install, there's a bracket configuration to suit your application.

For riders and builders who demand the same quality in their supporting hardware as they do in their cylinder heads and flywheels, S&S Cycle's billet oil filter bracket is the clear choice.
