I still just put oil on the threads and on the oil ring and hand tighten it. Besides,I doubt that I could safety wire an oil filter without taking the fairing off...

Thats only for track purposes. I hand tighten my VTR filters on too, and don't safety wire them. Thats plenty of torque. Or just a nice snug with the type of pliers you have, about equal to hand tight.
