The box trick works well.....I found one other way also. It might not be better but it is different....

First I always change oil after the bike has been at normal operating temp. (Thats a whole other thread) Anyway I dump the oil tank first.

Then I loosen the filter enough that it turns easy but the gasket is still not leaking.

Next I then take a plastic bag. (The kind you get from walmart or food stores with the handles on them) Anyway I take this bag, flaten it out and slide it under and around the filter. One handle on each side.

Now pulling it tight against the filter assembly tie the handles together, right over the exhaust pipe or frame, on the other side of the bike.

Now form a trough to your drain pan, using the bag.

Now spin the filter off. The oil goes onto the bag and into the pan.

Reach in and wipe off the filter assembly.

Cut the tied bag handles and carefully starting from the filter assmbly end roll and pull the plastic bag to your drain pan.

Sounds like a lot of crap to do but it takes about the same time as folding the box and it works great on 88B counter balanced motors.....Later....Butch
