Looks fine and as stated earlier, no one else will have one. It's your bike, you like it...you keep it. Who cares what I think.

It looks good and you get the pleasure of knowing you came up with the idea.

I'd say keep it. Plus, you've got the only one in town. At least for a few days now that you've posted this!

I voted to take it off. And that response comes from what may only be bothersome to me, ... I get so tired of stuff we buy from the Moco stamped Harley Davidson. You can tell two blocks down the street its a Harley.
I agree 100%. I don't buy stuff with "Harley Davidson" written on them. I hate seeing a bike that somebody junked up like a trailer park Christmas tree with alot of that stuff.

Cool $6 mod. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. My stock cap came off on the road somewhere, and I hate looking at the rubber plug. Gonna go spend $6 myself. What did you use to fasten it down with?
I'm not sure what you mean when you say your stock cap came off, and you are looking at a rubber plug. My dipstick was stock and I bought that brake caliper. It has 3M tape on the back. Just peal and stick.

Looks good to me manish_hawg. I'd keep it. Nice thinking and gives it a lil 'extra' look.

I know what he means. Mine comes apart about every other time I pull it. That's why I've been thinking of a temperature dipstick. I don't hear good things about the digital ones, but maybe the analog type are better. Anyone here have one?
