I feel the end cap type filter wrench, tried the triumph brand, was usless 
just slipped
around the end of the filter.  I purchased a filter remover I had not tried 
before, did not like the idea of driving sharp objects through the filter in 
such tight surroundings.
If it didn't work you are really screwed!  Anyway It has three prongs that 
are attached to a disk and tighten as you unscrew the filter. The wrench 
attaches to a socket driver.  Worked great.  Since you hand tighten the 
filter it doesn't have to work the other direction.  It only cost about 5 
bucks.  Told my Triumph dealer about it and he now has one too!  The one I 
bought hat three plastic covers on the prongs
they just made it slip, take them off it works better metal to metal.
