<><><><><><> <><><><><><> Doug, I think if you had a magnetic drain plug strong enough to magnetize a case the problem would be it would probably also magnetize bearings. Then any ferrous particles would get stuck to the case or a bearing which I think would lead to accelerated wear and failure. Having the oil filter would hardly be needed as you could just wipe the inside of the case to remove the ferrous material. Then you'd also need an "other crap" magnet to catch sealant and gasket particles.

Yeh, my gasket magnet is in the box with the muffler bearings, blinker fluid and knooten valves. They're acutally quite easy to install with a left handed screwdriver. Have you changed your blinker fluid lately?

Have you degaussed your engine lately.....it will go faster..... remove the mag plug first though cause it could undergo fusion..... --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Peplinski" wrote:

All the metel debris along the road would stick to your case. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

But on the other hand, the bike would now activate the green light at stoplights. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

But of course it would, now that you would be dragging dead mufflers and exhuast systems around from that magnetized case.... Jeeeesh Dooden A15 Green Ape

Oh boy, Harley bashing!!! Do you know why there are so many sighs on the freeway for the nearest Harley dealer? Thats so the riders know how far they have to go to replace the parts that have fallen off.
