My dealership has a Saturday morning special on oil changes. $19 if you get there before Noon. They change the oil while you wait (during which time they expect you to wander the showroom and buy a few H-D accessories)

I can't buy the parts for less than $25 retail, so I took them up on it.

Their wrenches should read this post.

I got my bike back 30 minutes later and the engine was covered in oil. Sigh. You get what you pay for. Later that same day, I spent more than $5 worth of my time and Simple Green washing the oil off my powder coated engine.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your ideas. I'm spending the extra $5 to do it myself and will try the 2 liter bottle and/or ziplock bag.

 

They forgot to mention cleaning the bike is another $19.........j/k......

 

$19 oil chage at a stealer?? I think the stealers up here are around $40!!.
K&N chrome filter with 11/16 nut on end- $14
afew quarts of Amsoil- $15
and an old 2 liter Mountain Dew bottle work for me.

 

Your right about that, below is a photo of a fresh build after a couple of rides with a Harley Davidson accessory of the good old days below the bike.
As far as removing the filter, I used a plastic coke bottle that I cut in half and trimmed the end to fit up against the filter housing. But since I installed the forward controls I found it easier to just put a drain pan under the bike, then wash the bike after the engine has cooled down.

 

I forgot to mention that for my hard earned $19, the stealer put a chrome oil filter on my black denim Bob. With a powder coated engine. The wrench must have thought he was doing me a favor, 'cause obviously everyone loves a chrome oil filter! I took a pic at the dealership so I could make fun of him behind his back. I wasn't a jerk (in person) about the spilled oil or chrome filter, because I had just received a $20 oil change. Beggars can't be choosers, right? It was my own damned fault for letting someone else change my oil.
