I am replacing my oil drain plug with a magnetic plug that is drilled for a safety wire. Where is the best place to attach the wire that runs from the plug? does aanyone has any photos? thanks.

You know the tab that covers the drain plug like a guard? Drill that protective wall with a small drill. Then safety wire the bolt to the hole. You want to reverse the pull, meaning, if you spin the bolt off, the wire direction should stop the bolt from turning. Say you wire up and when you see how the bolt can turn one way a little or the bolt will not move, is the direction of the safety wire in proportion to the turn between the holes.

Say the bike was doing a wheelie. You look at the bolt now from the underside. See, you turn the bolt to the left, you want the drilled hole aimed to the right. So, when the wire is placed at the bolt, it can no longer turn any more, being the other wire is set to the right and it more holds the, 'right/tee/tight/tea' cannot move, 'lefty-loosea.'

or if you have broken off that tab... :(.... you could loop end it and spot tack it to a nub on the side wall.

I use what's left of mine to grind down pavement high spots.
