K/N 171-C Filter bypasses a lot of issues on and off...
Get 'em @ Amazon for lowest price...

It takes like 20 seconds to remove the crank sensor.

So the answer is that there is no wrench that will fit on the end of the filter on a 2014 SG/SGS

I use the K&N filters. Easy on, easy off with the nut on the end.

I can order the K&N filters and my V-Twin oil from Amazon and it is all delivered to my door in one nice box.

I have oil coolers on all my bikes from 07 to 14. All have the same clearance. Never had an issue removing the filter. I do 6 services on average a year.

I use the wrench similar to one HD sells. The two bladed one that has a cam to draw the blades in to bite the filter. Works every time.

I've used one of these for years.

Like $5.00 at AutoZone or whatever. Works on everything except my BMW.

Thats interesting.. how does it work, do you wrap the material (filter in center of loop) around the filter and the use the "level/handle" as a mechanical advantage to twist the filter off??
intriguing....
