Has anyone else had problems changing the '84 Honda CB700SC Nighthawk 'S'
oil filter? I have the shop manual, and the special oil filter wrench
that it recommends, but there doesn't seem to be enough clearance
between the exhaust head pipes and the engine case to remove the filter,
no matter what the shop manual says. I tried removing the small heat
shield that protects one of the oil cooler lines, but that didn't clear
enough room. In desperation, I pulled the whole exhaust system, but
that's enough work that it sort of negates the whole point of the
spinoff oil filter.

Alternatively, has anyone had any luck with aftermarket exhaust systems?
I've been looking at Vance & Hines and Kerker. Naturally I what it all:
lighter, some more power, not much louder, easy (EASY) access to oil
filter and drain, center stand retention, and no rejetting. Comments?

Since my reception of net.cycle is tenuous, I would appreciate replies
by email. Thanks!
