Stock Oil Filter relocate?

The tiny stock oil filter in it's difficult location: Has anyone done a "remote-location" modification? Is there a good source for an adapter to do this modification? Thanks

I find it is in actually a pretty decent location...easily accessed from the top and bottom.
Run a 7317 filter instead of the tiny 6607. Its almost twice as long.

Thanks for the larger filter info... I'll live with the stock location for a while before desiding to re-locate it or not. I found a kit that has a 20mm thread adapter but this isn't at the top of my "to-do" list. Thanks again.

I'm sure there is a kit out there that would work, I've never done the research to find out what would work though.
---just did a quick check, it looks like the 6607 is a common honda filter...so maybe a honda relocation kit might work with some tweaking?

This kit has an adapter for the 20mm filter thread but I'm not sure about the diameter fit.

As long as it will fit the engine block, a wide variety of filters can be used. It's just a thought for now...after I've lived with the stock set-up for a while I'll deside if I want to go this route.
