And I don't really see this as "bling" (as somebody mentioned earlier). I see it as something that makes a mundane task a little easier to accomplish lol

That's just TBT being all complimentary and stuff as usual he's really very amiable over a
few bottles of Screech ya know - but anyway

the Issue with the threads going up past the drain thread can as I have
already said - be dealt with using a thicker crush washer - so should not
really be a "show" stopper (excuse the pun - lol) imo

Aww, it's all good

Just got notification that the valve shipped today... 3-7 days and it should be here. Probably closer to 3 days since it's only coming from Washington. Was planning on doing an oil change this weekend, but I forgot I have that BRC Sat. & Sun.... So, who knows lol

Your picture is FAR BETTER than the ones Sprock posted. LOL

In the ones he posted, the section above the lever looked like a button that needed to be pressed, didn't see the lever.

I can see using one on a truck with huge oil capacity that is changed on a regular basis in cold weather. But for a bike with 4 quarts on a nice summer day where it gets changed once or twice a year, it's bling time. LOL

Now before anyone jumps on me, this is a forum where opinions are welcome. LOL

No worries TBT... Everybody's opinion is valued as far as I'm concerned, even if we all don't agree 100% of the time

Our bikes are a bit light weight, so we should add all we can shouldn't we. I agree with TBT, bling.

I think it looks pretty cool. TBT is just a negative nancy.

It usually only takes me about 15-20mins to change the oil anyway, though. So the question is whether to turn this into a 1 beer job vs. the standard 2.
That's tough.

Awaiting the review.
