Default Black Tranny Dipstick for 05 and older?

Looking for a gloss black transmission dipstick like the one pictured, but it looks like the cutoff is 2006 and newer.

Anyone know of one to fit an 01? Thanks!

F-k it. Nothing good online except Arlen Ness crap for way too much. Epoxy for the win.

That would have been my suggestion. Personally, I didn't even bother with that since my exhaust covers the dipstick. (Yeah, PITA...)

Another option would be to make or improvise a plug/cover for the stock hex socket item.

Yeah mines pretty well hidden, but I'm powder coating all the cases and somehow it's standing out and bothering me

Totally understood. All my fasteners are polished so the chrome dipstick actually doesn't look too bad on my bike. I think. Not that you can really see it.
