Ducati fasteners are made of cheese.

Is anyone using an aftermarket oil drain plug? If so, which and what are your thoughts on it?

I recall seeing someone made a run of custom titanium oil drain plugs (although this could have been on another forum); I’d buy one in a heart beat. Any leads on something like this?

Found it:

Looks like I’m answering my own posts. Slow Sunday over here.

I will let you all know what I hear from Phl on ducatiforum but I also found this:
https://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium-sump-bolt-magnetic-m14-x-1-50mm-x-12mm-1.html

Based on what Jarel is selling at Ducati Omaha here...
https://www.ducatiomaha.com/products/moto-d-magnetic-engine-oil-drain-bolt-plug

... it looks like the Pro-Bolt measurements will fit except it’s 12mm long and not 16mm.

Does anyone know the stock size specs?

I had the moto-D on my Daytona 675 which is pre drilled for safety wire. Used it on the track no issues. Apparently it also fits the 959. I haven't ordered one yet for the Pani but plan to in the near future.

Phl has some drain plugs available for sale still so I bought one. Won’t know how it fits until next season when I change the oil but looking forward to having some titanium jewelry laying around the house until then!

Thanks everyone!
