I'm taking a machining class right now (Intro to Manual Machining) and thought I'd share my first project. As many of you probably know,the GasGas drain and fill plugs leave a lot to be desired.

The plugs were made from 1" diameter 6061-T6 aluminum, turned down on a lathe. The hex head was cut on a manual milling machine.
Here's the finished product:
