Oil tank dipstick

[BlackandChrome]

I want to be able to monitor my oil levels better. My dipstick seems a little crooked and my kickstand keeps my bike at a drastic level. I know a change in the angle of the bike can really change the oil level on the dipstick.

I see ASB has the billet dipstick w/ a temperature gauge.
It's been brought up before:

Is this worth the $90? Why would I need to monitor the temperature?

IDK. If it works correctly I could see it useful. But... Isn't there a engine light that comes on if you over heat tho? I would spend $90.00 on it myself.

I look at it like this yes your Engine light may come on if something is not right , but what if for some reason it doesn't like if the light went out or temp sensor is off or wiring or something , the temp dipstick is a backup that you can check at the stop for gas and keep a mental note of it and if it is not where it needs to be you will know right then . $90 is alot but i dont know of anywhere else of another place that has them for the buells. I would like to have one along with a very very small oil pressure gauge too and a gear light too.

Srwmoto on line sells one for 135$. 90 sounds pretty good to me. I've allways wanted one just to see when bikes runnin hot (from weather, traffic, ect). Also am courious as to how fast it warms up sometimes.
