Default Show us your oil plug drain bolt

Come on guys, whats with all the show me posts. Who really cares what your exhaust pipe looks like, or your painted inner fairing. I can understand if your interested in how it looks prior to buying one, but what is the real value of looking at 50 pictures of exhausts?

That's the point they are stupid posts. I was being sarcastic. And no I don't read them, I just hate wading thru them to get to post that mean something, like opinions on different, accessories, and how people have modified their scoots, what items are problematic etc. and I sure wouldn't post a picture of my drain plug.

but i really wanted to see your drain plug! on the other hand, its easy enough to skip over any post that you don't want to read. no one is making you read them.

I don't mind the "show me" threads. It's nice to see what other people have done to their bikes and maybe get some good ideas. If you're considering making a modification why wouldn't you ask to see what it looks like already done? You get (mostly) an entire thread to see if you like what you're thinking about doing rather than flip through a thousand pictures or search on threads all day.

I started the "show us your mufflers" thread, you got a problem with that then go elsewhere. Take a look at your own thread (this one)..really helpful huh?

Leo , your drain plug sure is clean as is the whole under side. I guess I'll have to clean mine up before I take any pics of it.
