Didn't realize this question was going to attract so many wannabe comedians..
Thought this site was suppose to be about helping your fellow biker with proven experience and knowledgeable advice , not satirical BS.

There is a real possibility in posting anything on the web that someone will have fun at your expense. Roll with it, it isn't that serious....

From the sludge I seen on the plug on the site I think it safe to say the oil was way past due to be changed.
I have put over 100,000 miles on a couple and 60,000 on one of my HD's but never experienced any magnets coming off. Never seen any sludge on any of my bikes.
After break in I have seen nothing but normal wear on the magnets.

You nay sayers are a laugh
but I'll bet you wouldn't think twice about paying $75 for a piece of chrome that did nothing but look nice. Stronger magnets for the bolts makes more sense since it's a one time cost and is about the same as the cost of 1 oil change. IMHO, anything that helps these engines last longer is a good investment.
