MSP Remote Oil Filter Install
I recently recall a thread on this subject. I purchased the system for my '05 Deuce and completed the install yesterday. IMHO, pretty slick and well worth the time and cost. I changed oil as part of the install and was reminded how much I hate changing the filter in the OEM location. But then, I smiled; never again. I have made many mods to the Deuce over the years but this is one of my favorites. Will be ordering the system for the '02 FLHT soon. A few photos follow.

What is gonna happen when the passenger forgets to put the peg down, and stomps on the oil filter?.....
I like it. You could also reroute the oil tank drain hose over to that area.

Sweet!
This is something I've thinking about doing for years and never got around to it.
It recently has moved higher on my priority list and I will have it done before Spring.

Not sure I follow the oil tank drain line comment?

On the old Softails (not sure how it is set up on the newer models), the oil tank drain hose runs along the right side of the bike, so that is the side you drain it from. I was thinking the hose could be re routed so that it ended near the relocated oil filter, so everything would be in one spot.

Troy,
There's no measurable loss of pressure with any of these kits. The gerotor type oil pump in our bikes is what's known as a positive displacement pump. This means that unless that pump is physically broken, it is going to pump x amount of oil with every revolution.
I could go a lot further with this, and I'd be more than happy to if asked, either here or via PM. I just don't want to go off on an uninvited "tech tangent" and sound like I'm giving some kind of a sales pitch.
