Thanks for following up, keep us posted. It may seem some are not interested but you would be surprised of the number of people that do not post but keep up to date on motorcycle modifications.

Yup.

Just posting to confirm that the above is true. Also a big fan of the Fumoto product, curious as to what you find out.

I have a Fumoto on my car, and likewise thought it would make changing oil on the bike easier. I have too Sportster 1200 which had the plug dangling on a hose, so I'm not sure how well that would work out. When changing the oil, the direction is to remove the plug and let the new oil fill the tube. The Fumoto would be really helpful here. Of course, changing oil is a once a year thing for me, so it's not a huge deal.

Do you think there is enough room between the shocks for one of these units?

Having changed my oil a number of times, now, I would be interested in a Fumoto on my bike, even though I use them on my cars. They are pretty heavy, for one. Not sure how it hanging on the drain hose and bouncing around would do over the long haul.


Maybe a lighter, plastic version would be interesting, but for the 2 times a year I do an OC, it's not that big a deal.
