Thanks you for the photos, I like the idea of shorter tubes and a downward looking oil filter so I can fill the oil filter during installation. This will also be behind my lowers and out of sight as well. OK, I now have a plan. Thanks again Cornpipe.
Judging from the 22 Road Glide Special I just sold, with installed factory fairing lowers, I dont think it will fit with lowers.

In theory filling filter sounds nice. But your engine still has oil in it and is coated. You are draining oil pan not engine when doing dry sump
Look at autos, look at all the bikes doing just fine
This relocation is not as extreme as the ones where they put filter to rear of bike. And maybe not all that different than some brands of oil cooler in terms of stressing pump.
until I saw pic I thought it was one where the put oil filter by saddle bag.
So the value of this is no mess for changing oil filter??
Mongo I have two of their oil filter relocation kits and love them. There are no issues running these components and I opted for the front frame down tube mounts. I didn't care for the kits that route back to the passenger peg/floorboard.

It does not stress the oil pump anymore than a larger oil pan stresses the pump.
You are over thinking it
