Billet Proof Designs Shorty Oil Tank Dipstick with Temperature Gauge — White Face, Chrome, 50–350°F

This Billet Proof Designs replacement merges a shorty chrome dipstick and an oil temperature gauge into a single, easy-to-read unit designed to retrofit many older Harley-Davidson Sportster and Softail tanks. It swaps in for worn or damaged OEM dipsticks (replaces HD part 62668-87T) and provides both oil level markers and a 50–350°F temperature range, all in a polished chrome finish with a high-contrast white gauge face.

Will this dipstick fit my Harley model?

Compatibility covers a wide range of classic Harley models. Confirm fit by matching your bike year and model to the list below or comparing the dipstick dimensions with your tank opening.

• Fits 1979–2003 Harley Sportster XL models
• Fits 1984–1999 Softail FXST models
• Fits 1986–1999 Softail FLST models
• Replaces OEM part number 62668-87T

How does the temperature gauge perform and what range does it show?

The integrated gauge reads oil temperature between 50°F and 350°F and uses a white face with black markings for visibility. It’s an analog dial that gives a quick snapshot of oil temperature while parked or idling; it’s not an electronic digital sensor but provides reliable visual feedback.

• Measured range: 50–350°F
• White gauge face with black text for legibility
• Analog needle display — no wiring required

What are the physical specs and finish of the dipstick?

The Shorty-style dipstick is made to be compact and attractive on exposed oil tanks. Measurements are provided to help verify clearance and fit during installation, and the chrome finish resists surface wear while matching other polished trim.

• Overall length: 4-3/8 inches
• Dipstick blade length: 2-13/16 inches with High/Low markers
• Outside diameter (cap): 1-5/8 inches; chrome finish with white gauge face

How easy is installation and what should I check before fitting?

Installation is straightforward: remove the old dipstick and thread in the replacement. Check the dipstick seating and that the gauge face sits flush; verify oil level with the bike level and on its sidestand as recommended by your service manual.

• Simple screw-in replacement for matching OEM spec tanks
• Verify High/Low markers on dipstick while level
• Ensure gasket/seal is intact for leak-free fit

Who is this for: This Billet Proof Designs chrome Shorty dipstick with white-faced temperature gauge is aimed at owners of late-20th-century Harley Sportster and Softail models who want a direct-fit replacement for a tired OEM unit, a cleaner visual upgrade for a restored bike, or a compact dipstick that adds a useful temperature readout without electrical modification. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics and classic Harley riders who value period-correct fitment and clear, mechanical oil level and temperature indication.
