magnetic drain plugs

Here is a place that has M8 x 1.25 thread Magnetic oil drain plugs.
Should work in the bottom of the oil tank and also in the chain case.

I'll buy a couple and see if they really do fit well.

Got 2 of them, they work.
I put one in the chain case and one in the external oil tank.
I used the OEM washers.

Here is a pic of the OEM Chain case drain bolt and the Magnetic Plug beside it.

I looked at those once it works but I hate that to check for shavings you must drain the oil. thats why I made the magnetick chaincase dipstick. you can check it anytime and make sure there are no problems, if there big shavings or more than normale than you have a problem.

I hear ya, but I'm on a schedule.
One job leads to the next on these darn sleds.
Your idea can be utilized at any time.
