Oil filter from hell!!

Oil filter from hell!!
I'm looking for some way to get this FN thing off. So much for the nut attachment, stripped with a socket first try. I then used vice-grips but that just rounded the end. I then used the rubberband wrench but did not have enough room to turn due to the headers, lastly I used the strap wrench which only put a dent in the top of the filter.
Holly Crap I can beleive it's giving me this much trouble.

I hear yu pain mate ...
I have the std strap tool for them too ...
but ...
I had to drive a huge screw driver right through mine some time ago because it refused to come loose ....
The leverage helped to break the seal ... made a bit of a mess though ...
I think I must have been a bit heavy handed when tightening it the last time ...

I've had to do the old screwdriver through the filter trick, too. Never on the CBR, though...
malbojah is right on the money. Get a decent steel cap wrench. The pic below is very similar to mine. Then a 3/8" extension w/ 17mm socket right between the fairing. It's worked every time so far. I use Purolator filters from advance auto.
