Harley Drain Plug Magnets
Your Harley drain plug magnets are worthless . A simple test next time you have them out put one down on your bench and use what ever wrench you have and try too pick one up. Heat is a magnets enemy Harleys run hot right. So check out cycle solutions .com they have magnetic plugs that really work a bit $$$ but worth it, especially on a new ride. You wont believe all the powderd metal they pull out. Wait and see what you pull out of your primary.

My old air cooled VW has a magnet on the drain plug. After 42 years it is still plenty strong. I did not know that there was one in the HD, but it is not a replacement for a oil filter like they thought it was with the VW's.
