its not the undoing im worried about....

its the oil running all over the frikkin bike when you undo it

Yeah that's a pain in the butt but at least it doesn't go all over the headers. The problem is though that if a knob in a bike shop over tightens the filter you can't use the old "punch a screw driver through it" method

awesome pick up mate............

I am yet to find an oil filter that does not succumb to this tried and true method !!

With permission and specific instruction from Wattie since being banned from unsupervised work on my own bike , I stripped her down somewhat and got the alternator cover off. Solenoid undamaged Just awaiting new cover & gasket. No other visible damage to the motor or radiator

Yes...and it does present front and centre on the barge to the point where it's just asking for this deserving punishment !!

The oil filter on the six however is buried at the top of the engine, mind you there appears to be heaps of space at the front of the engine

Congrats on the new tracky Rob, and that's great news that there doesn't seem to be extra damage! Can't wait to see you on her!
