Default Any one try the Jerrys Rigs Systems?

Curious, I was wondering if anyone on this forum has tried the "JerrysRigsSystems". It is the oil filter relocator and also reduces the mess from changing the filter from its MOCO position. I looked over his web page and some of the pictures. Just wondering if there were any active riders that are using this system. I want to know it's road worthy. I average about 16k a season and I'd hate to be somewhere with a faulty product. I guess you can call me the doubting Thomas. It's worked for me thus far. Thanks for any input. Ride Hard, Ride Long, Have Fun and BE Safe.

I found this old thread about JerrysRigsSystems.com when I went searching for a oil filter relocator solution for my new 2015 FLRT.

I have one of those orange funnel-things for my 2005 Softail, and it mostly works.

But my 2015 Freewheeler takes oil filter replacements to new depths of messiness. I tried the cut-down plastic soda bottle (@ 1,K mile oil change) and the papertowel-tube-cut-in-half (@ 5,K mile oil change). Don't even talk to me about punching 2 little holes at the end of the oil filter canister. In both instances, I ended up spraying a can of brake cleaner all over the engine / oil radiator / hoses / and my driveway to clean up those messes

There's a www.mooresensible.com/harley-davidson-touring--fxr.html for $200, that mounts the engine oil filter at the back end of the trans. Or there is www.jerrysrigssystems.com/index.php for $295, that mounts the filter up front in the air stream.

I know it should be a no-brainier ~ it's a $95 difference. But after 5 years, NO ONE has even commented on Jerrys Rigs Systems?

Before I pull out my VISA credit card, has ANYONE WITH EXPERIENCE in oil filter relocations mounted either one?

You may wish to look at this sight. His relocate for baggers and the one of other bikes works and is well made. Take time to look he over he offers a few options.

To me this is about dollars and sense.

It doesn't make sense to spend that many dollars to fix a problem that really doesn't exist.

I'll save my $200 and spend 5 minutes cleaning.

My 2 cents.
