I have an 06 Heritage Classic, picked up a analog temp gauge dip stick, watching the temperature after riding,&nbsp\\;I noticed that&nbsp\\;it never seemed to go above 200 deg, I'm thinking this is great, after further inspection, I can tell that the&nbsp\\;dip stick&nbsp\\;is not touching the oil in the tank, it must be reading the air in the tank.&nbsp\\; Tested the unit in boiling water and it is reporting the right temperature, so did I get the wrong unit or is that the way these work.

Mine goes down into the oil......and is just as accurate in measuring the amount of oil in the tank as the stock one.......Id bet you have the wrong one...

You may have purchased the wrong one. I noticed that there is a long one and a short one.

I went out with a heat gun to check mine, and it's dead on the money (unless both are equally wrong!!)

I think you bought the wrong one. Mine goes into the oil, and works just fine...checked also in boiling water.

I have 06 FXST standard and I bought aftermarket dipstick with analog temp gauge ( non-HD). Yes, it turned out alittle short and ended up buying one from HD. Same price pretty much.
