2013 Sportster XL1200C, motor is still stock.
I ran the Harley standard Sportster 63805-80A and Mobil 1 M1MC-131 filters for 5000 miles each using Red Line MC 20w-50.
Riding was pretty much the same for each. All UOAs by Blackstone.
Mobil 1 filter hotline told me the M1MC-131 was rated at 10 microns (up to 99.9%)

Copper is still too high but has been moving down, it was 190 at 1022 miles with HD 360 20w-50 factory fill, 278 at the 5000 mile UOA. (4000 miles on HD SYN3 20w-50)
It was 263 at the 10,000 mile UOA 5000 miles on Red Line MC 20w-50. No particle counts on any of those UOAs, all with the std HD filter.
The Mobil 1 filter did much better at 4 and 6 microns but not any better at the larger sizes.
The wear metals except copper are all below the 2500 mile universal average even though I ran the oil 5000 miles.
I am running the Mobil 1 filter again. I will probably try the HD Superpremium5 filter on the next change.

I keep the data in an Excel spreadsheet and used this link to do the formatting above. Copied the cells from Excel and pasted into the INput. I just copied the output table from the web page and put it in "Code" tags.
