Not sure how much more exposed it can get. Can't imagine why you would relocate it.

Why would you want to relocate the oil filter?

And on that note - why would you want to hardtail it??

Hardtail it to get those awful springs out of there! And oil relocate is for looks, I also want to try to clean up all the hoses when I hardtail it and get the new oil tank. I've seen plenty of pix and they look sweet just didn't know if any of u guys have done it???
