Magnetic drain-pan bolt

Hello all,

I see these for cars often enough, but it's a oil-pan plug that has a rare earth magnet on the end, and it collects the spare filings from engine use, that wind up in the oil. Would this have any application in a motorcycle and is there any downside to using them?

I know the block is aluminum so it won't help in that department, but surely they do SOME good, right?

Thanks

 

I thought pretty much every bike had one of these already?

 

Yea.....push the rock back over ur head its old news

 

I run them on all my bikes; it's amazing what they pick up.

These have worked very well for me:

Probolt sells them.

 

Suzukis comes stock with mag drain plugs.

 

yeh is good. And ducatis leak oil stock to help remove the cr@p from the motor :P

 

Yah not the best way and they still blowup.

 

Excellent, thank you to everyone who helped.
