I have been thinking about these drain spigots. What about finding something magnatized that will thread into the bosses of the frame other than the spigots. Such as a magnatized bolt or something. I know it would be a little more hassle in changing the oil, but I have actually started removing my spigots completely when changing the oil. Have you ever noticed how much more oil comes out of there if you competely remove the spigot?
And what about the dipstick? Could we possibly put something magnetic there. The x440s motorcycle uses a vented cap for the oil fill hole. What about using this hole to have something long and magnetic submerged in the oil fill hole. We could alway carry a dipstick along for checking the oil level.
And what about a magnetic drain plug for the engine.
Just trying to think of any and all places to install magnets.

That oil passage hole seems very restricted when the dipstick is in. I have been using a standard cap there, since my dipsticks seem worthless anyway -- and experimenting with an alternate dipstick using the different style ventcap like Brad77 mentioned -- sure maybe the same can be done with a pencil-rod magnet in the proper diameter, maybe a good idea -- even if it is not end-tapered and submerged quite so deep. fun fun fun
