I saw this and was wondering if anyone had tried it, or one like it.
For $10 sounds like it may be an OK idea.

I didn't put it on but thats what my bike has in it. I guess its a good thing when it doesn't have much stuck to it when you change your oil.

Both my bikes have one, I didn't put them in, I believe they're stock, could be wrong though, my Skunk had one also back in the '70's.sigpic

Don't waste your money! Instead, I suggest a trip to Northern Tool to pick up a pack of the super magnets they sell for far less. I would bet money that their super magnets, which fit perfectly in the recess of the drain plug head, are WAY more powerful than the magnet on the drain plug you're looking at. One pack had enough magnets to put one is every drain plug on both of my G's.

Here is the plug I remoevd from my 80 450s
Doesn't seem to be magnetic. Did someone replace mine with an aftermarket?

Your plug is not magnetic and could be aftermarket. If its steel (vs aluminum) take my advice and epoxy a magnet to the head of it. You'll turn the whole thing into a magnetic drain plug.
