Oil filter/ highway peg clearance

[jack]

Just got an '05 and it has highway pegs that are attached to brackets that mount to the engine cases. Do I have to loosen or remove the one by the oil filter to remove the filter?

Thanks,

Jack.

For most filters, no. The stock Yammi filter, definite no. Use a large adjustable pliers to loosen the old, hand tighten as much as possible the new.

Jack I don't know if the 04 is different but I don't have to remove them to remove the filter.

I have the Wild Bill travel pegs and have had no clearance problems. You'd have to do a Google search using: Wild Bill's travel pegs site:fjrforum.com

Or: travel pegs site:fjrforum.com

Maybe that would take you to a picture to see if that's what brand you have. IIRC, he's the only one making them, but I could be wrong.

I have this setup on my '07. There is a slim, flat oil filter wrench made for the Honda Goldwings that fits perfect on the FJR filter. It will slip in behind the bracket for the peg and take off the filter without disturbing the bracket. A lot slicker than squeezing the filter with a big pliers.
