FOR $4 at Harbor Freight you can get a pair of oil filter pliers look like big channel locks just for removing oil filters .

Then from now on buy a K&N 171 CRHOME or Black oil filter with the nut on the end .

Or just keep smashing THEM WITH THE GIANT PLIERS

The K&N one is more expensive than the HD filter and I personally think that bolt hanging off the end looks cheesy. But that's just me!

Just get an oil filter strap wrench, never any issues.

I have a Jesse Luggage Systems tool, it fits over the end of the filter and has a place for your socket to fit in. It came with my BMW, fits the Harley.
