You just have to admit that the calmness is amazing. Absolutely can tell from the start that it won't end up well. I still can't stop laughing.
For those of you who are interested in the final result of the oil filter relocation kit install, here's some pictures of my bike with it installed.
You can see the chrome filter cover just peeping over the exhaust pipe there. I was a bit worried that all that chrome might look out of place on my black bike, but I think it looks really nice down there.
One thing I was worried about was people said that the area which was covered by the vanity plate with the YAMAHA logo would look bad because it was under the plate. A little bit of Mr Sheen (Aussie furniture polish) and it came up like there was never anything there
You can see the hoses in the picture (right). I was initially worried that they would not fit because when I held it against the bike I could not see how they would. I bought the normal length hoses that came with the kit, but they fit perfectly as you can see.
The oil filter itself is tucked up under the front. I'll have to see how it goes with crap flicking up from the road onto the chrome I guess.
All in all, I'm very happy with the results. Now I have to wait to put another 5,000 kms on her so I can do the next oil change myself!

I think it looks really good - it's not really obvious though. In any case, here's to simpler oil changes!

I got the oil filter relocation kit installed on Tuesday - here's the pictures of the oil filter before the kit was installed. After shots to come this evening.

So I left my baby at the shop this morning for her 30,000km service. Apparently 30,000 is one of the big services 
I've left the oil filter relocation kit as well so it can be fitted. I gave her a quick once over and noticed that there was a thin tear about 6" long along the edge of the back tyre
- that's not good after only 10,000kms - better not be delaminating.
Now the waiting game before they call me back to tell me what the damage is to my credit card.
