Good thing you're done because that way you won't have to eat those words of yours. Specifically these:
"Honda has no specified torque value for tightening an oil filter and I ought to know, I deal with bikes everyday."
The Honda Service Manual for my '99 Honda VFR specifically states: "Install the new oil filter cartridge and tighten to the specified torque, 10 N-m, 1 kgf-m, 7 lb.-ft."
The Honda Service Manual for my wife's 600cc SilverWing states the same thing with the difference being the torque values, which are 26 N-m, 2.7 kgf-m, 20 lb.-ft.
Makes a person wonder what else you're wrong about. I sure wouldn't want you working on anything of mine.
