I have a band wrench that fits onto the end of a 3/8" ratchet extension. I found the space between the filter and the cylinder too tight to unscrew the filter by hand, but the band wrench is perfect for the job.

Cheers!

I bought mine at the dealer $20.00 billet aluminium. it works but it's kinda flimsy you can get a stamped steel one for the same price. I bought the aluminium one because It was machined and I used to be a machinist I still admire a nice looking piece of work. I don't know how they can make any money off of that, (China?)

That's just like the one I have, except mine is black, isn't Harley branded, and I got it back in the early 90s from Snap On, when I was apprenticing to be an automotive technician.
