Checking Oil on HD Trike

[Biker_ded]

I have a 2014 HD Ultra with a recent Motor Trike conversion. I added a digital oil dipstick a couple years before I had the conversion done. The instructions say to check the oil level with the bike on side stand, which obviously can't be done with a trike.

How have any of you overcome the "side stand" position when checking the oil, even with the standard oil dipstick?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The stock dip-stick on the Tri-Glide has two readings...1] Hot on Jiffy stand ; 2] Hot on level surface ....Don't know about the digital....

$150 dipstick !!!! WOW. Just put correct amount in ( or,some say 1/2 quart less) & check the stick ,Then you will know where it should be when checked later. not that hard. You can also buy a thermal gun to check temps a whole cheaper than 150 .
