Default Oil Filter Wrench $$$
Changed the fluids in my 08 Ultrayesterday (1000 Miles). Went with Mobil V-Twin 20W50, seems to run and shift much smoother. While I was at my local H-D dealership buying the oil filter and gasket kit, I noticed an H-D Oil Filter wrench $26.95. Went to Auto Zone and purchased all the fluids, noticed the exact same oil filter wrench (minus the HD symbol)$4.96.

Yes, but I bet the one from Autozone didn't have to come all the way from China

I just buy K&N chrome oil filters. They have a nut on the end so you don't need a wrench.

+1.....either that or a Crapsman strap wrench.....never failed me yet! Plus if you dont give them the gorilla twist when installing them, they aint too bad to remove in the first place!

The formula seems to be "take an article that costs five cents,
add an HD logo, then change price to $50.00 !!

What a deal!
