Thanks for all the replies guys! I ended up just drilling several holes in the crankcase and letting it drain out. Made sure I could get it all out with that method. Plugged the holes with JB weld too so I should be good to go! ;)

Just put a used grocery bag over the fairing part before removing the oil filter. That way when you're done, one just have to remove it and won't have to clean no mess...

Thanks Dr. Joe - that sounds like a good idea! I will try that next time instead of the foil.
