Looks good Furry.
One question: any chance that could scrape the pavement? I am assuming not because it sits closer to the frame. However, although not frequent, I have scraped the footboards while turning. ANd it could happen again. Any thoughts?

Take a look at this pic for reference. This is Devin(the D in "DK) on his Street Glide during testing of the oil filter relocation. You can see the oil filter sits higher than the exhaust and rider floorboard-

Ok thanks swiftly!
Before I read your post, I had already ordered the DKCustoms kit. Hopefully that will work for me.
I will have to install the filter bracket below the abs. I have the extra long S69 k&n filter. It will be interesting to see how it goes. Plus, I am also worried about the clamps being able to support the weight of the longer filter (more oil than stock).
I will use the blue thread locker on the screws that connect the filter bracket to the frame. But I am not sure what threadlocker to use for the hose on the brass barbs. If you can suggest, that'll be great.
