I'm sure it has been bashed on here before, however I wanted to say it again...
Don't waste your money on Harley's POS touring model electronic dipstick.
I finally got fed up with inaccurate readings or no readings so I stuck my stock dipstick back in. The pisser is I still have one of HDs Softail analog replacement dipsticks which works great and was only about $30. This digital dipstick was around $135 !!
Sorry for the rant... Just didn't want anyone else to waste their money.
One edit: OBTW, I've got an "Oil Level and Temperature Dipstick with Lighted LED Readout - Chrome" for a 88" touring model for cheap. Best thing since the bread slicer...

If you want a very simple, durable, accurate and easy to read analog gauge for your bike this is by far the best I've seen. I've had mine nearly two years and it's outstanding. Very accurate also...

digital dipstick
the dipstick is for dipsticks,it crapola and HD wont give you the $150(just a drop in the bucket)amount back when this thing craps out on you after the warranty of 3 months is out.Haarleys are a joke,but not funny one.
