Just got mine, I’m glad I found this video, had no idea what the little grey and black blob was!😂 great quality item and it looks great! Every Goldwing owner should buy this! Now I can get my dipstick out with real size hands.
One additional reason to not make the entire dipstick, i'm 99% sure the DCT and Standard transmission bikes have different dipstick lengths. Great little widget!
It's 6061-T6 Aluminum, hard-coat anodized! We do have some Delrin samples we are going to test because someone suggested the aluminum one was pretty hot to the touch once the engine warmed up...
Just installed mine…seemed like there was too much epoxy but I put it all in there…in a ball, it wouldn’t fit so I had to elongate it a bit…but it looks good and dipstick is easier to access now…thx again Max & Traxxion staff 😊
Since you know how to make new gadgets have you thought about making skip plates for the tip over bars. I took a piece of steel pipe bent to the correct angel then cut it in half, painted it black and after a deep cleaning I used 3M heavy duty double sided tape to security it to the outer side of the crash bars. This was on my Victory and it works great. Problem is I don't have access to the guy with the pipe bender. Once they get scratched up I just sanded and repaint them while they're on the bike. If you could make something like that I'm sure there would be a market for them. By the way I got your dip stick extension today and its very good quality.
I watched the video days before receiving the extender. While attempting to install I started the install video. I had forgot to drill the hole in the dipstick. I had already mixed the epoxy and pushed in to the new extender. The epoxy filled the entire cavity. By the time I got the hole drilled the epoxy has set hard as a rock. My dumb mistake. Just ordered another one. Next time I will not put that much epoxy in the cavity. Live and learn.
Hey Max is there anyway you can tell me how and what kind of gps system is on the green Wing is and how it’s mounted up there on top ? That setup looks really great. Also checked the dip stick today and it was working just great. Thanks again.
It's the latest Zumo. The mount is something completely custom I built. I have done one more similar, on a white DCT, there is some video on that from about 2 weeks ago.
Max. Love your videos. I have a question regarding the oil level on my 2024 Gl1800. I have the 6 speed model. I took it to the dealer for the service and after following your oil check video I found the oil level 3/16ths of an inch above the full mark. After about a half hour the oil level settled right on the full mark. You said there are 2 different dip sticks, one for the DCT and one for the 6 speed. Do you think my oil level is over full.
It is important you read the manual and follow the procedure. You have to run the bike, then turn it off, wait 3-5 minutes, NO MORE, and then check. It's really STUPID!
We can use a US Postal Small Flat Rate Box, and a lot of our small products will fit in it. You could get: Dipstick extender, Kickstand Pad, Centerstand Anti-slip patch, Emergency Key Assist Tab, Axxion Camera Mount, Super Seat Bolt, Steering Safety Pin, Battery Terminal Extender, and Glow in the Dark Horn Button all in that small box!
Note to self: Watch the frickin' install video "before" you do the install! I did not drill a hole in the dipstick paddle although I don't believe that should be a problem.
But of course you realize that putting that epoxy in there extended the dipstick, possibly changing its resonance frequency. Or maybe the epoxy dampens the vibration......who knows? Don't worry about it.

They are oddly slightly different... I have a video about it.
Just received mine. Thought it might be plastic. Happy to say it's heavy duty and comes with a slice of epoxy. Very impressed

Just got mine for the 2023 Goldwing, SO much easier than stock!
Glad you like it!

We put some extra in there, so it squeezes out the side holes. Sounds like you got it!
Got mine today , very easy to put together and works very good , Highly recommend this product. Thank you Max , great work and looks killer ! ! !
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello Ostbob! I don't have a tubing bender here either. I think by the time a Wing hits the ground and slides, there's nothing that will protect it.
Excellent video, helped me install mine tonight. Great product. Thanks Max.
Great to hear!
Nice quality and craftsmanship on the dipstick extender. Just installed it while watching your video. Great idea! Thanks Max.
Thank you very much! It was Made in America!

Tim, don't worry about it! That's just an additional way to lock it on. But I've never heard of one popping off, so save your money.
Another great solution. Thank you Max and Traxxion.
Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks. Just installed and a great addition for my large hands.
Glad it helped!
Will be installing mine this weekend. Thx!

You guys are so innovative !!!!….any idea shipping cost to Ontario, Canada ??

Great product, solves the Shrek fingers issue.....😂
That's funny! "Shrek Fingers"...
How can I redo this process? Used the supplied epoxy and it was too much that it didn’t seat all the way in and now it dried and crooked! Thanks

It really won't matter Kurt. I just did that for overkill... which is my nature. You are fine, if you ever lose it, let me know!
So how do I order one of those great handles?
Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?

@@Traxxion ummmmmmmm....... yes.

Don't worry about it.
How do I order 1 of these?

Thank you
Just have to say thanks. Once it is on you realize that this is the way it is supposed to be!
I know! For a bike with so many neat details, it's hard to see how they missed this one.
Очень интересное решение но где взять такую ручку или как её выточить размеры.
