    Good thing there not aluminum screws. Yep, magnet on a stick works best for doing that.

    What does "opps" mean?
    The primary chain would prolly grind it right up. There's a lot of force in there.

    Yea... I went fishing and got me a quarter twenty. My magnet didn't work so well so I had to pull the cover.... hate it when that happens... Every time I take a wrench to my Goad glide the more I love my FXR!

    When I was missing one and it was no where to be found I said to myself . No,, the odds of it goin in there are like. Aw shucks, darn it, no..:eek: I didn't. I couldn't believe I could do something like this. Then there it was on the rear side of the primary, back where ya can't get the magnet ya bought just for occasions like this. Yea great shot. Three points.. Next time I'll pay more attention to what I'm doin instead of the conversation goin on. No harm no foul. :D
