I hope this doesn't sound stupid!!!
So I have a 03 Ultra Classic Electra Glide and it has been lowered so with the bike on the jiffy stand the bike does not sit at the stock angle. I read in the service manual to put 3.5qts in and check the oil on the jiffy stand. Mine is not going to read right so If I go with just the 3.5qts I'll be good? If so I'm going to note where the oil level is on the dip stick and always go for that level.

 

If it was lowered say an inch and the kick stand wasn't modified any, then y not just ride on a few pieces of 1x whateverver to get it back to stock height and solve ur issue

 

I'm not sure about mine, however the stick on mine has a range for cold and hot.. I shoot for the middle of GOOD..

If it's been lowered a bit, it'll read high however.

 

Make note or marketing dip stick only have to do it once......

 

I run 3.5 quarts all the time, in a kinda successful attempt to limit puking oil out of the breather at high speeds. No ill effects from doing so, you'll be fine. If you're really concerned about it, decency's idea is what I'd do.

 

Doesn't your dipstick have two sets of marks? One for Jiffy Stand one for Bike Upright?

 

This - manual shows how to check level both hot and cold. One method is with the bike level

 

My RK is lowered 1" front and rear and I change oil on the jack. Easier to get at the oil pan.

 

Mines been lowered as well, 3.5 quarts show 1/2 way between cold and hot. It's where I leave it.

 

My bike is lowered 1" front and back. Changed all three holes today 3.5 qts Lucas 10702 High Performance 20w50 Synthetic with K&N filter, 1 qt Lucas 10790 Primary Chaincase Synthetic in the primary and 24oz Lucas 10791V Twin 70w140 Synthetic Baker 6spd.
the oil level on stick on jiffy stand is closer to the bottom line than the middle
