Hose clamp diameter for oil filter

I need to pick up a hose clamp on the way home to safety wire my oil filter. I forgot to measure it to see what size I'd need. Anyone know offhand, or have access to a filter or filter wrench you can measure?

Thanks!

K&N KN204 which fits the RC and CBR1000RR (I think the 600RR also) is a small amount larger than 2.5" so I am guessing 64mm Oh and the K&N has a nut on the end that is drilled for safety wire

Re: Hose clamp diameter for oil filter

You must use a carbon fiber or unobtanium clamp on the 1098. If you get caught at tech with a mundane, run of the mill hose clamp from Home Depot, you'll lose your linguine privileges for sure.

I thought they went over this stuff when you picked up the bike...

I forgot about that. They're going to kick me out of the Ducatista club down at Starbucks for sure. I'd better order some of that spun gold safety wire from Italy too.
