Maltese Cross Oil Tank Plug Dipstick – 4‑1/4" Dipstick – Harley FL 1965‑1984, FX 1971‑1984, XL 1970‑1978 – Custom Maltese Cap – Made in Taiwan

OVERVIEW

This Maltese cross oil tank plug dipstick serves as a direct replacement for factory units on vintage Harley-Davidson motorcycles, delivering precise fluid-level monitoring during routine maintenance. Constructed with durable Taiwan-manufactured hardware, the assembly integrates a secure mounting plug with a calibrated 4-1/4-inch dipstick rod designed for consistent accuracy. Built specifically for classic FL, FX, and XL air-cooled platforms, it restores reliable oil checks while elevating the visual presence of early-model oil tanks.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

The precision-engineered dipstick rod extends 4-1/4 inches to reach optimal sampling depth within the oil tank, preventing overfilling and ensuring accurate baseline readings during cold starts and period service. Fabricated using durable Taiwan-made construction standards, the threads and plunger housing resist wear from repeated maintenance cycles and sustained engine vibration. The straight-rod architecture eliminates reading inconsistencies common in shorter aftermarket designs, while the solid Maltese cap provides reliable tactile feedback for quick removal and reinstallation without tool assistance.
