I figured your FXR was basically the same as mine. Oil filter mount bolts up to the bottom of the transmission. I knew that the later model Softails and Dynas had it out front like that...
Didn't know yours was set up like that too...

Necessity is the mother of invention Marc. It was just a matter of time. Old neighbor had a Softail and the oil filter was mounted on under the front cylinder. Easy to get at. But, I can imagine the mess when it comes time to change filters... Not only the mess, that oil is hard on rubber motor mounts

Someone now makes a drain tray that fits under your filter to stop all that mess.
