gday,anybody here drilled and tapped their forks for a drain screw?looking at a mates trx and figured it wouldn't be a bad idea for easier oil changes.

EDIT,posted twice somehow?i got error message first time,no worries.

Yep, easy enough to do, tap a 5 mm thread in there and use a small end cutter to face it off flat so you could use a copper washer under the bolt head. :wink:
