My 850 had an alligator clamp holding the filter on. There's a metal tab on the right side of the area of the filter which held it to the can. I assume this was to keep it vibrating off. Was that a stock item?
Ugh, I've had factory location oil filter come loose just as I was warming up tires and working up nerve to attack some twisties coming up to feel a sense of a flat tire so slowed to find oiled tire then 1/4 mile oil slick. I still don't bother with a jubilee hose clamp but sure do make sure filter is nipped up short of plain stupid tight. Road trash is handy on summer rides w/o much a glove to screw hot filter back on and ride to an oil top off. Class this item with brake safety spring and rim clamps.
The 1st time I changed the filter back '74 it was on so tight that I had to destroy it to get it off. For a bike that vibrates as much as the Norton it seems like cheap insurance and very easy to install and remove.
