It can be done, but it is difficult and you may not feel confident that you got the $2,000 "O" ring back in correctly if you have to slide the cooler back across the filter. Easier just to drop the exhaust and lube the exhaust nuts at the same time. It also saves you having to take the lowers off too.
Good morning!
I came across this statement in an earlier comment, read it and started thinking about it, as I just change my oil on my 1989 R100RT. Getting at it was a bit awkward without taking the exhaust pipes off, but it is much easier if the machine is up on a lift and your able to look right at cover plate to get at the 10mm bolts that hold the oil frame to the engine case.
I replaced the black rubber smaller one with a new o-ring, but did not renew the larger white in color larger one, as it appeared to be fine with no nicks and was not starting to get hard.
My question is which of the two are the ones that you have to be careful with and what are the tell tale signs that you may have an issue after you have reassembled the oil filter housing along with the junction oil cooler lines.
Came across this note in which Kurt responded to a question on an earlier Airhead Oil Line question. Thank you Kurt:

Will be ordering some new white Orin's for future oil changes.....
