2002 dyna wide glide trike / Frankenstein kit / oil reading

according manual - I have been told, the engine oil needs to be checked on kickstand.
Where on dipstick, when hot should the oil read with trike ??? Dipstick is either add or full.

I had that same question after I triked my Sporty. I checked the level hot, off the side of my driveway, angled to left side like on kickstand. Any way you can get it angled will work. Then I compared it to the reading when level. Now I know where it should be to check it when level.

reading level

so where was it on dipstick when not level ??

About 1/4" higher. Your B.T. may be a bit different due to where the oil tank is located. You know to check it warm to hot, not cold.
