If it fits a '14 touring model, I see no reason why it shouldn't fit a '15 touring model.
This link says '07 and later touring models.

If the threads match, I can think of few things easier than screwing in the new one and marking the oil level with paint or a magic marker. If the new one is longer and some mechanical interference is feared, cut it off to match the old one. If the new one is too short to reach the oil surface, then it won't work. Few things are any more low tech than a dip stick.

M8 dipstick is shorter yes you can use earlier version as long as you remark proper level and pay no attention to marks already on it. 103 stick is not rigid and also nice aluminum hex head not black plastic pos that comes on m8s

I ordered the chrome cap dipstick PN 62693-07A. The length is the same as the one on my 2015 tri glide but the treads are different It wouldn't screw in. After close observation, the caps do snap off. With a little pressure, the caps snap right off so I switched caps and now have a chrome hex cap in place of the round plastic one. Now I can used Jim's Tools hex dipstick tool to get past the hot exhaust to remove the dipstick.......and that's the rest of the story.
