    Deciding on whether to throw some V&H big radius on the 06 Dyna but looks like the pipes cover the oil dipstick, all I really need to know is do they ? or should I leave the big radius alone and settle on different pipes. 

    If they do how do you check the oil ?

    You can still get the dipstick out no worries,

    Mate has the big radius 2-1 on his Dyna, Just have to be a bit careful when the pipes are hot

    Not sure on the 2-2 Mainey

    I had a quick look on the Yank forum and one poster said he had to loosen the rear heatshield to get to the dipstick and another said he had no problem and something wasn't fitted properly on the first guy's bike

    Couple of links for ya
