This may be worth a bet. I bet I can get my bike on center stand and drain the oil out before you can get yours on the lift and get the oil out through that thing.

The bet would start by rolling or riding the bikes into the garage.

Well, my "unnecessary bling" showed up today. Don't see the need to post a pic of it, but there were some questions about whether or not the threads protruded into the oil pan...


Not too sure when I'm going to have a chance to change my oil and install this "bling". Won't be today, tomorrow or this weekend. Too busy between doctor appointments and the BRC course I'm doing this weekend...

If you waste the time to install it before doing an oil change then you have defeated the purpose of having it(save time) and it moves to the bling category.

Oh BTW the thing I can think of that this would be useful is if you take samples of your oil at regular intervals and have it tested. then it would be a godsend.

Others have called it unnecessary bling... I don't think it is.
(I wasn't referring to you, either Hueristic )

^ too funny!

It's nice to know that they took their time and made it correctly. All to often, companies slam products together and sell you crap. It looks well built.

Hey:

"It was made in Japan". So are Toyota's and they are the makers of many POS vehicles, and low quality crap.

Today you are never sure what kind of quality you get till you have it awhile, and hope it is a good purchase.

Good luck with it, should make things easier for sure, as long as it works.
