FWIW, when you get one of these you still have the stock one of course. When I put my bike up for the winter, I remove this tech stick and put the old one back, storing the tech stick in my home where temps, humidity and condensation aren't even a passing concern.

GREAT idea for those who need to store seasonally! Also, you could use the stock dipstick when washing the bike, which eliminates any chance of getting water into the electronics into the LCD dipstick, via water pressure.

I want to get a set of these axle covers for my BO. Kuryakyn say they don't fit. But that could be with the stock exhaust or the axle 3/4 Allen heads? I don't know. Has anyone fitted a set?

They will NOT fit, have a pair left from my Fatboy that I traded for my new Breakout and tried to fit them but the angle of the swing arm is different.

Thanks for that advice. There's a co on eBay selling them for BO which made me think. It's about time Kuryakyn started making stuff for the BO. It's the Second best selling HD so would be good business.

They probably do make a lot of stuff for the Bo but just don't know it yet. These discoveries are by and large being left to the few notably astute BO owners who post here. Thank God for these guys or we'd all be riding stock bikes.

If you can find a pair that fit the Rocker, they will work, same axel and nut..
