Would anybody happen to know what size and thread the oil dipstick is on a 2008 XB12? Mine apparently vibrated out and is now gone. I have a 750 mile trip planned for this weekend so I kinda need one.
If anybody knows or can find out or can check their own PLEASE let me know! I have a lathe and can make a temporary plug for this weekend.

Thank you!

Go find another buell and borrow his/hers ;-)

No I'm kidding that would be stealing

Don't know off hand. Should be able to figure it if you have a Standard thread pitch gage and a set of calipers.

PVC fittings are pipe thread, you need astandard or SAE fitting, a farm / heavy equipment dealer can help you out, or if you have a hydraulic speciality shop close by they could set you up with a hydraulic port plug.
