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.

 

Love my pc racing filter..

 

I tried have a reuseable PC Racing filter...use the aluminum foil trick to divert the run off...Spray any overflow areas with nonchlor brake fluid..apply my filter...spray again. Never a mess...everything is in the catch basin.

 

Just move the pan under the fiter and remove... Sray the area down with brakecleaner... SIMPLE

 

$20 is a lot to pay for a 6 penny nail and a 8" plastic hose. Use a punch, nail or a 1/4 drill bit to put hole in filter top side, slip a medium duty rubber glove on filter, spin it around and let it drain. Put filter in glove when finish and dispose. Work like a charm.......

 

I use the jerryrigssystem no mess and you can fill filter before installing.
best money i ever spent.

 

Works great, I can spill the same amount on the floor and bike with this as I can a plastic coke bottle cut out. Come to think about it, I probably spill more with this tool than I do a coke bottle cut out. How's that better you ask ? Well the oil spilled on the floor acts as a dusting agent as well as a paint remover on my painted concrete floor.
Don't waste your money, cut the bottle!!

 

Piece of card board and 3 or 4 paper towels work. However, you need to replace them every time, so the plastic $20 part will save money in the long run if you live long enough. (...Did you say you were 2 years old?)
