Has anyone safety wired their right side drain plug? I'm thinking that it's going to require a new bolt since the OEM bolt is "flat". I wired up the left side and the oil filter bolts, but I'm stumped on the right bolt.

Nah, grab a 1/16" drill bit and a decent angle and have at it.

I wussed out and did it off the bike, but on the bike you'd get the best angle for the wire to go.

Don't forget the oil filler (I wrapped the other end around the bolt for the plastic heat sheild).

I pick up my Buell Racing belly pan tomorrow, but just found out it doesn't include hardware!

I drilled it off the bike. It wasn't pretty, but I got it done.

Thanks for the confidence!
