Colony 2284‑2 Tappet Oil Screen & Spring Harley‑Davidson Softail 2000‑Up USA Made

OVERVIEW

The Colony #2284-2 is a precision-engineered tappet oil screen and spring kit designed to replace aging factory components on Harley-Davidson Softail engines. Constructed in the United States using durable metals, this maintenance upgrade ensures reliable lubrication delivery while blocking particulate matter from reaching critical valvetrain surfaces. Every unit serves as a direct drop-in substitution for the original equipment part, restoring proper engine hygiene without modifying your frames or covers.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

This assembly directly replaces the stock filtration element to prevent microscopic debris from clogging tappet oil passages under heavy loads or extended highway miles. The hardened metal screen works alongside a precisely calibrated tension spring to maintain consistent oil pressure at low idle and during aggressive throttle transitions. Built to withstand continuous exposure to hot oils and thermal cycling, the components resist deformation and corrosion far longer than standard manufacturer replacements. The kit installs as a straightforward bolt-on exchange, requiring no machining or special tooling to restore optimal valve train lubrication.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Owners select the Colony #2284-2 because a clogged tappet screen quietly starves the upper end of lubrication, leading to accelerated wear on rocker arms and pushrods. The reinforced American-made components handle sustained vibration and high temperatures without warping, keeping oil pathways clear mile after mile. By returning to factory-spec flow rates, this kit eliminates unnecessary top-end noises and extends the service interval between major overhauls. For Softail platforms relying on traditional pressure-lubricated designs, this simple maintenance swap preserves rideability and delivers lasting mechanical confidence.
