Fitting Hitchcocks Motorcycle's longer sump plug. (PART No. 570276LONG) #️Not sponsored or gifted promotional item. Also dealing with some other poor fasteners.
Thank you for your kind comments. If you are interested, an Aussie going by the name of RandomRides on TH-cam has recently started a series of hints and tips videos for these bikes.
Thank you, excellent advice! I also have a stealth black Classic 500, although I have added a bit of chrome here and there. I will follow these procedures, makes a lot of sense, cheers.
Great vid, good mods. Shame they can't do that in the factory, but sorting that and other build quality issues would no doubt drive the price up somewhat.
Great video - love the idea of preventative maintenance - would love to see some more along a similar vein.

Great idea, going to give this a go myself - how long were the two studs please?
Cheers
Hood tops. Thanks. How did you lock in the studs? Lock tight?
Blue loctite.
The two studs on the gauze filter, are they just the two bolts which came fitted to the bike, but with the heads sawn off?
No. I used longer stainless steel studs because the original bolts do not reach the bottom of the threaded holes in the engine casing.
Good common sense mods mate - thank you very much for posting this.
