i still havent gotten the damn bolt out yet. im not starting or moving the bike. i drained all the oil out. magnet didnt fit and i cant see it at all with a mirror and light. my friend at harley is looking at another RG tomorrow thats all torn apart to tell me what the next plan is. hes not sure if the oil pan is open to the tranny or if it just has an oil supply tube. it may be a closed case... if thats the case i might have to take my whole tranny out. that would suck

A cow magnet is a smooth magnet about 3 inches long and 3/8 round that you put down in a cows stomach and it catches any metel that the cow eats and keeps it from going on thouugh the cow

How about a small piece of tubing hooked up to a vaccum and try sucking it out while fishing? Just trying to put another idea out there!

I know this might be a dumb comment but have you searched the entire work area (floor) under and around your bike?

Worst comes to worse, if theres a Harbor Freight near you they have bore scope camera for about $90... The hose vacuum idea is a good one if you can't get magnet to cach anything. Just be patient... and pray...
