cvaria picked up a digital HD dipstick here in this thread and it didn't last too long at all: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...questions.html

I've got one. I only have half a season on it but find it accurate as to oil level and otherwise functional. I know this, as well as my oil pressure gauge, isn't lab quality stuff but I've recently switched to synthetic oil and a permanent filter and find it educational, not to mention reassuring, to see the differences that result with my own eyes.
So as not to hang the issue, temp and pressures definitely show a significant drop with SYN Oil and a permanent filter.

If you want the actual oil temperature and avoid the cheese digital dipstick JES Custom does have an analog setup that fits '99 through current Dyna models, the black faced gauges look pretty nice: http://www.jescustomaccents.com/cate...?categoryId=37

I monitored engine and head temperatures with the Power Vision both before and after installing my Jagg oil cooler and there was a nice reduction in both of those temperatures but the actual temperature of the oil is a bit of a mystery, I've tried to do everything I can to keep the temperature down: proper tuning (fuel and spark) with the PV, oil cooler, tank lift, permanent oil filter, venting hot crankcase gasses to atmosphere, no baffles and TTI's in the exhaust, 10W-60 full synthetic oil.
