Mike the magnetic tank bag is a great idea except the tank is PLASTIC
.Of course if you have discoverd a new type of magnet please patent
it then let us in on it ! :-0)
As for oil, oh boy here we go... I use Motul 5100 15-50wt. This is an
ester based semi synthetic. I was using Motul 300V full ester
sysnthetic but it's way too expensive to change as often as I like,
(I change oil ever 2K miles just anal I guess) and I'd rather change
more frequently with a less expensive oil. Other good choices.
Silkolene, Mobil 1, Bel-Ray, Motorex ( except they don't have a 15-50
weight) Agip (sp) Just stick with a motorcycle specific oil you
should be OK.
