sidewinder oil drain plug

[thunderbolt]

Anybody gave any thought to using a hole saw and putting a 1 inch hole directly below the plug so you can access it without out trying to squeeze a wrench in or remove the muffler , like really such a simple fix wouldn't you say and put a rubber plug in there to keep the snow out

Just make the side panel removable. Makes it a no mess situation and makes chain case maintenance much eaiser.

Look up @ROCKERDAN 's build thread he has a great write up on making panel removable. Hole saw is only good for oil drain but panel removal is good for all the maintenance.

Oil change takes less than 30 minutes with panel removal
