Easy drain sump bolts

From my chemical handling life  :) we used a simple pipe fitted to a sump, this was long enough to extend upward past the liquid level and clipped out of the way. Just unclipped and drop into a catch tank to empty content.

Thinking along those lines, you could fit a aeroquip line with banjo fitting to sump plug on a bike, route the "tail" of pipe up to secure it, fit a cap at open end  to finish.

Oil drain would be unclip pipe, drop into catch after removal of cap ..... then reverse after drain out.

Demon Tweeks are cheapest for the Stahlbus at the moment.

Many of the car sump have drain out in horizontal location, is that same for the bike application here ?

Just thinking of how far that extends in vertical orientation if fitted that way on a bike.

Remebering how much oil got pumped out of the breather pipe on a pre unit Triumph which was "dry" sump when the rotary disc failed i  am not sure a permanent open ended pipe is a good idea, there is a lot of windage inside the crankcases

I wasn't clear, but it was suggesting to use aeroquip, which can have competent "cap" that would not give a problem.
