Been there--done that!! I just changed the oil last week, and made the same mess. Next time I'm for sure going to get a piece of cardboard folded. Should work like a charm.
You boys is like teenagers..... ya never listen to what the old men say.

Oil Change Surprise
So I managed to change the oil on my 07 Street Bob by myself today for the first timeand it all went smooth untill I removed the oil filter. I know I read about it on this forum some where about putting alum foil to catch exess oil but I thought, Nah it wont happen to me. Well about 30 minutes later after I had cleaned up the mess I thought , Why did you not heed the warning from your forum members. So remember take it from me listen to the members when you go do some thing to your bike. They have been there done that. Thanks

You can get this from Harley (Part Number 63794-10):
Or you can cut a 2 Liter pop bottle into a similar configuration and accomplish the same thing.

I put the catch pan under and remove filter slowly. It goes all over hell. I drink 2 more beers, then clean it up. Better than pulling the filter off my Silverado, fukin oil all down my arm....No way round that.
