Need an answer from anyone else running these. I really like the way they route these pipes but it looks like the rear header pipe may block access to the oil fill/dipstick. The only pictures I have seen are from a side view and it's hard to tell. Is there room to check your oil and/or add oil if needed. I don't want to have to break the rear pipe loose just to check the level or do an oil change. I can't imagine that Rinehart would design them to interfere but would like a definite answer from someone running them. Thanks

 

I can get to the dipstick for both the oil and trans just fine. No need to disassemble for access.

 

Great thank you. Exactly what I needed to know.

 

I have the Rhineharts and I can get to my dipstick, but Harley wants the oil level checked with the engine hot. I have to wear a leather glove to check my oil or I will burn my hand as the rear pipe is right next to it.

 

Pay close attention to what you are doing you will burn hand but you can get to engine and tranny I run mine checked it hot let it cool and check it cold remember where on stick it is and check it cold no worry of burning hand then works for me some may not like this approach but I just way I do it.

 

Yes you can get to them, yes it sucks. Also the xtreme headpipe diameter is bigger than stock so if you decide you want to try so different slip-ons later on the mufflers only fit the head pipe. I finally got sick of not being able to check the fluids without burnig myself so I had to buy a new headpipe and new mufflers. Also the rinehart headpipe shields chrome sucks, not very high quality at all. The mufflers (3.5) still looked like new. I went with the V&H dresser duals headpipe and the Rinehart 4" muffler.
Heres the one I just took off, not alot of room but it can be done.
