How much threads stick up in the case blocking sediment?
I ordered one last night. When I go do my next oil change, I'll take a couple pics comparing the original plug to the quick change plug.

Least of your worries if you go bunny hopping on curbs
as you'll already have a hole in your oil pan from snapping
off the front nubs on the oil pan

So Matt

Pic's and a review when you install please

It's an acquired skill that you country and suburban boys wouldn't understand. I've lived in my current house for over 20 years and have always parked my bike on the sidewalk in front of my house (no garage). So, every time I ride it means jumping a curb. You just have to know the difference between high and too high.

LOL

Up until 10 years ago - when I finally kicked City living and all it's wonderful
benefits to the "curb" Paco (excuse the pun ) I might have just agreed with
you on that - but they just installed nice 8 inch granite curbs on my street
last month out here in the Boon - Docks - so I guess the old urban just
became the new suburban eh ?

I don't recommend jumping curbs. Trust me

As for the drain fitting. I imagine if it is shorter than those fins that extend from your pan that protect your pipes, You should be ok
