Oil Change w/filter today

[lynchman66]

Wow what a pita...I have a 82 GS1100ez with Kerker 4-1 & Derale oil cooler w/s.s. braided lines. I actually thought about it for a day....Then really looked at it with thinking I would have to remove the header. Went and bought the oil & filter and checked the clearance, Just enough! Removed the cooler lines from bottom of cooler and was able to pull the cover sideways and pull it down through the header. Its a four hand job with the wife . The only other tricky part was holding the spring in place w/ a long flat blade screwdriver. A little brake clean, purple power Degreaser and rinse down.
She is running and shifting super smooth. BTW 4qts of oil!
