Drain plugs with magnet

Where can I find drain plugs with magnets for both the engine and trans? Putting in 91 & 95 R100RT.
Thanks
Ray
 
BMW of Santa Cruz County has magnetic drain plugs for crankcases.

Don't know about the tranny, though (but that sounds like another good idea)---let us know if you find those available, please.
 
On all my bikes 80R65, 82 R65 and 75 R90. All have magnet drain plugs in the transmission and final drive these came from the factory.

If you can't find a magnetic drain plug for the trans. you can have a machine shop mill out a hole in the drain plug and then epoxy a magnet there.
 
Magnetic plugs OEM?

So Don, does that mean that it is likely that most airheads come with magnetic plugs already installed when they left the factory? I have a '92 Euro GSPD. Wondering out loud....

TYhanks, Jeff
 
I would have to say yes. My 82 R65 I bought new and I know they came on it but not the engine oil drain plug.
