    This guy made his own drain screws. XJ650



    That's what we need, some superior German craftsmanship.

    I need a couple of these for a XV1000 restoration. I understand they use the same drain screws. How do I order some from you?

    Anybody can order online, but to exercise your manly man skills,,, well worth the time and effort. In my last bike build I turned a lot off bushings and spacers on my lathe. Yea I could went to the hardware store, the very hardware store that I can see out the window as I type this, and BOUGT the same thing. But where is the self pride, the same self pride that my father and his father had in that. Besides when ever the poo hits the rotating windy thing here in the states, you will need said skills when you cant just go order things online or even go to the hardware store for that matter.
