I am using the fumoto valve on my diesel truck. Nice and handy for oil changes and if you want to drain a cup of oil out for analysis it is not messy to do. If I ever strip my drain plug out on the bike that would give me an excuse to get the Baker + 1 oil pan.

Dumpped about 6 quarts of about 1,000 mile old oil through the engine. Then ordered a 1" extension and a Fumoto quick drain valve (see pic) now I am back in business. This was no doubt the best option in lieu of a timesert/helicoil. I red loctited the extension into the pan so I never intend to remove that and if there in an issue with the fumoto valve I can remove that from the extension and replace.

NOW THAT IS NICE!!!!!!!

I kept silent for once and JUST READ..... ALL GOOD SUGGESTIONS FROM A GREAT BUNCH OF MEMBERS AND MODS....

but i can't help my self....
