just a side note.... oil dry is typically made from clay....if you take a little bit and spread on your oil stain/spot, then grind it with your shoe, you will break down the clay into a fine powder and this will suck the oil right up off your floor. Save your paper towels, use a little oil dry. If it doesn't look too bad, you could always save it and reuse again. You will be amazed that a minute or two of this will remove a lot of stains on your floor.

Yup. Been doing this exact method a long time.

I must be doing it wrong. I too make less mess with the Harley filter funnel but not enough less to make it worth $20. Heavy duty Reynolds wrap and the holes punched in the end of the filter seem to make the least mess. Have NEVER had a completely drip free filter change yet even with all of the practice I have had as I approach 65,000 miles.

I went ahead and decided to just purchase the funnel, its just $20 also I purchased this filter, which has been my 3rd filter being used on most of my previous Harleys.. For $112 I am pretty much set with oil filter and funnel. Filter is expensive but its actually more expensive from the vendor at $120 plust s&h, $93 is just fine to me.. I've had this filter of my 11 SG, and 2010 Iron, now on my 14 SGS. Its a worthwhile investmnet IMO Thanks guys!

Came across this item on amazon, wanted to see if spending the $20 on this plastic tool will be worth the cost? Seems like a nice idea, I know that many change their oil filter which is the messy part with some sort of plastic soda bottle gadget, I tried to see if I could find it on youtube but no luck as to what others use or recommend..
I need to change the oil on my 2014 SG, its already passed do the break in period.
Let me know, thanks~

This thing? Amazon.com: Ernst Manufacturing 960-Orange Greg's Drip-Free Oil Filter Funnel: Home Improvement
Looks cool, I have spent $20 on lunch before so I think that would be a good investment.
