I had a Fumoto oil drain valve on my RAM diesel truck... It held 3 gallons of oil, and it was easier to stop/start the draining to fit it into different containers, than to handle 3 gallons in an open pan.. I felt it was a valuable change from the standard drain plug.
I have a Fumoto oil drain valve on my Class A motorhome. The drain is above suspension parts, so I use a hose from the drain valve to avoid a mess.. I feel it is a valuable change from the standard drain plug.
But IMHO.... I see no advantage to adding a drain valve to any of my Harleys, that include Dyna, Softail, and Touring models...

The plug goes metal to metal.
Be sure that special drain is correct thread. Don't use a face gasket and call it good enough. It could vibrate loose

I wouldn't. I'm just a drain pan guy I guess.
Good points on what Mr. H stated - being able to add a drain hose to the can be very helpful on some applications.
