Actually that’s not accurate. Both trikes use dipstick 62700136 and low rider, fat boy and heritage (I stopped looking after 3) uses 62700226... So calibration may indeed be different due to position.

Only thing that is not the same from the trike is the top. Same length.

I'm still trying to figure out how to put the kickstand down on my Trike to check the oil properly.
