Have you used that? The HD wrench is specifically cut out to avoid damaging the crank position sensor. When I used my strap wrench on mine I had to be very careful of the alignment.

Just a caveat.

I got the same issue with that pesky stator plug in the way. I could always go to a shorter filter I guess...........

My solution to this was to grind away one section of the lip on the edge of the tool so it slides nicely past the stator plug without damaging it.

I have seen a really tight filter, like tight enough to crush the filter with a wrench and not get it off. defeat those hex-hat filter wrenches.
Even if the filter crushes, this one is going to get it off, and it's relieved on the sides for crank position plug.

Must be a factory tool.

FWIW Harley has a relieved oil filter removal tool for something like $15.

Ok I have a picture. This is a 05 road king. The sensor is short. I saw some sensors on some models are longer. So I have to take it back, it is good for road king and DX with stock filter.
I think it is a good idea to grind it to fit. It is only $5.

That wix filter dose not fit the cap.

Sorry I can not upload the pic.

Not. Not cheesy sheet metal either, and priced lower.
