    Default Found a HD dipstick.

    While driving near home and watching the road for "road finds" I found a HD dip stick. This dip stick looks as if it's friction fit. My son has a HD and after assisting him with an oil change I know my son's dip stick screws in. Is the friction fit an older design.

    I couldn't help but think someone is having a really bad day. I drove up the road looking for them, hopefully all is well.

    My 1990 FLHS has a metal rod instead of the later plastic one

    to gauge oil fill. Also solidly mounted to the cap.

    Common on the EVO FL series.



    If it wasn't installed all the way or too much oil was

    added they can pop off. Oil bag was just below the

    seat on the right side.Not too bad for the pilot as it is,

    for the most part, behind him. Hot oil on the leg can

    make for a bad time for the passenger though.

    The dip stick itself is plastic and is attached to the cap end with a ball & socket arrangement allowing the stick to pivot.

    i guess minds work differently. I was concerned it would blow all the engine oil out and seize. Thinking if it blowed oil onto the operator that would be the best scenario, they would shut down before bad things started happening.

    I found a couple of HD dipsticks. They call themselves the board of directors at HD.
