Make oil changes easier, less messy

I don't want to throw the subject guy's and I appologize. Where it's due, I got to say thanks to ya's!
I wrote Large a while back asking advice for building a Diamond back. I apreciated his help and encouragment. Figured I'd send a pic of the completed project!
By the way, have you ever heard of a Diamond Back "CURACA"?
Is it possible I'm sitting on some money here? Even the bike shops arround here aren't familiar. This has a nice frame! Had to be made Late 80's if I was to guess!

Wish I had better news, but my experience with drilling magnets, makes them non magnetic. If anybody knows a technique please share!

How about putting one of those magnets on the fill plug or dipstick?

Thanks Machiasmort for telling us about the demagnetisation of drilling magnets. BTW those pics of the Diamondback would be better posted on the 2-stroke threads. Nice bike right enough and old bikes are fetching big prices.

Titan/HuaSheng hose.

Same as before but this time it's for a 10mm drain plug.

Very cool Mod. Thanks! Just changed the oil in a Honda for the first time and ayup, made a mess. Easy means it will get done on time and won't be put off. I tend to procrastinate.
