Does anyone have any tips or tricks that they use to keep the oil from absolutely covering the exhaust when you take the filter cover off?

I have a Ryca kit on mine so the heat shield is gone. I'm assuming that actually made the problem worse on stock bikes because the oil probably drips behind it.

Either way, I would normally throw a piece of plastic or something like that under the oil drip to divert it to a pan. I don't see that working too well with this design because of the angle that you need to have it at to catch anything. You need a second drip edge along the left side or you're just going to end up with oil farther down the exhaust...which doesn't really fix the situation.

I've tried foil over the header with marginal success.

best thing so far is to wash the bike after.

I'll try this next time.

And don't worry. It has enough now.

I use tinfoil,... usually used tinfoil...
