Have any of you used this filter wrench on a touring bike?

Oil Filter Relocation. Easy off and on. Clean up is a breeze.

Looks like a complicated tool to do a simple job (Rube Goldberg?)

Not enough room on my 2019 FLHTP. I use a oil wrench, extension and ratchet and my filters release with a pop.

Do not see a two finger tool doing it.

I use the oil filter wrench with an extension. Fits into the tight spot and easy to use. I do not see that device fitting into the tight spot it needs to fit into. I imagine hand hand and the frame rail will fight for space and the frame will win.

Interesting concept. I see how it works, but I don't think there's enough room on the touring to get in there and have room to squeeze. Maybe other applications, but not my Street Glide!!

When I wrenched (past tense), bike or cage, I found the one with the RED arrow worked best for me. Thinner width for the rubber band that goes around the oil filter.

I had a metal one that worked a little diff but there wasn't enough maneuvering room.

Just can't see getting enough leverage where the filter is located , especially if the filter is on too tight , which most are .

If your looking , the standard HD cap wrench is your best bet , add a 6" ratchet extension and it'll make the job effortless .

I like to use K&N filters because they have a nut on the end that you can use a socket on.

With so little leverage I wouldn’t think it could release a snug, let alone a tight, filter.
