I had the one with a temp needle, come to find out the Sportster oil is always cool as a cucumber. It's in the box of bike junk now.

I am a data *****,but worry someone would steal it, and then be screwed with open hole somewhere. Maybe paranoid. Never had anything stolen

PS. Welcome to the HDFORUM.

Yup. The old analog dial type has been on my 2002 Fat Boy for a lot of years. Never checked the accuracy but it still seems to function OK.

I really liked the LCD one. But, never go more than 18 months life from them. $10 per month is too much to pay for the convenience. But…I kept paying it…

Does that say $309 ?!?!
is this the same thing?
Oil Level and Temperature Dipstick with Lighted LCD Readout- Chrome 62700005A | Harley-Davidson USA

I can be a gadget geek, but there's not $160 worth of geek cool factor there...

I did buy a dial temp gauge like the other two members
Used it for a year to know what oils temps were for my riding

..L.T.A.

I'm guessing the OP isn't from the US. Here's the dipstick on HD's Australian website.

Here's the same dipstick on the US website.

I have had the oil level and temperature dipstick with lighted LCD readout for years. So many years I can't remember. I'm probably the only person that would give it a good review. It has worked well for me. I have checked the temperature function several times by immersing it in boiling water and it is always within 2° F. of 212°. Even the oil level function has worked well but I will usually pull the dipstick out and check it with my own eyes. The only thing I have had to do is replace the battery a couple of times.

I did replace the battery in the Softail a couple of years ago. Easy peasy....and the 4 year old one on my SG was purchased used from the forum.
