I sorta resented it at the time, but what the feller did to my old '88 90Q
was to cut two access holes in the fairing under the engine.  One gave
relatively easy access to the filter and the other allowed access to the
drain plug.  All in all, I think it was a pretty good idea.  A couple of
minutes with a small jig saw should take care of the problems.  Take care,
don't cut a hole in the pan.  :-)
