Use the dipstick. Should be about 11mm. Older bikes needed to be upright to check. I'm not exactly sure on yours. If you pull the dipstick it should say.
Hot/Cold doesn't matter. If it's hot let it settle for a minute or two before you check it just like you would a car.

What he said. That is the way all of my manuals have said to check the fluid on any Harley I have ever owned.

Once a proper level has been established ( measured upright etc.).
put the bike on the jiffy and measure again- and make a mark on your dipstick, that allows you to do quick measurements on the jiffy.
If the level doesn't reach the bottom of the dipstick, you can eye ball it if the exhaust etc. allows you to see into the dipstick cavity
