Any one seen a drain valve that I could install on the oil drain hose? I don't really care for the little plastic plug, held on with a hose clamp.

I kind of doubt the plastic one will ever be a problem.

That might work. Couldn't find one like that from the originators Fujimoto.

Thousands of Sportster owners have been removing and replacing this plastic plug for a lot of years with out any issues. I have never heard of one problem with the plastic oil drain plug. There may be more important things to worry about.

I made one using a ball valve from my old R12 ac manifold hose set. Very similar to the one in the quoted post. The hose clamp was eating the hose so it had to go. Used an Oetiker (sp) clamp like the fuel lines OE clamp.
