Oak Mountain rider....Great pictures, thank you so much for the time you took to get that all together....Am I seeing that right? No difference between upright and jiffy stand?

Yep, there was no difference. I can test hot engine with warm oil later. It is good to know about the oil levels regarding possible sumping, I guess.

Yep, there was no, or minimal, difference.

I only put 2.5 QT in but I did fill the oil filter about a third of the way. Anyway I sucked a little out with a syringe and felt better when I rode the bike sidecar up on a curb. It gave the Dyna the appearance of leaning over on the jiffy stand but it was still not the right amount of lean. Anyway, feeling much more comfortable today with the generosity of all your time and effort.
Thank You

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should put those "notes", instead of on the wall, where they CAN be "blown away", put them in your phone? You should have a Word or Notepad app on your phone, and you can save that info in different documents on your phone. I use mine for all kinds of things I need to remember. Just a thought...
