I bet all the plugs that are born as Harley plugs feel like they got the short end of the stick.


These seem like good idea though.

I have seen magnetic sign material used by just attaching (sticking)them to the bottom of oil pans as well.

I'd be willing to get a drain plug mag from these folks just to support an American business and entrepreneurial spirit .

Maybe the Fast One and/or Brent should talk to these folks .

Lola wants one . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g5YNPzr8NM

Interesting that the only engine size they list for the 2007 America is the 790 cc. I also tried 2008 and they only list 790 cc. Is it safe to assume that the drain plug is the same size for both engines ???
