Leo, a little NevrDull would polish that drain plug right up. I can see some oxidation starting.

Black chrome, I don't think you'd be happy with the powdercoat finish.

I've been thinking about having mine color coded, that will save me the embarassment of creating a post asking about which drain plug every time I change my oil. I'd still have to ask what color oil to use in each hole.

Can you use the original drain plug if you use synthetic oil?

Whatever you guys do, just be forewarned.....if you don't use a viton o-ring on the drain plug and you ride in the desert heat, your bike will blow up like the shuttle!
