6 Speed Transmission dip stick

I just went out and checked mine 23000 miles and no rub mark, is it only on some of them? or is it something I should be concerned about?
 
Let me know how to get you the money Glider, I'll take it, Thanks.

I'm not taking any chances SteveO. I've read to many horror stories so far on this dip stick damage. I'd get a spare and cut off the one on the bike.
 
Now that is strange. I wonder if it has something to do with the clutch cable adjustment. Maybe to much slack lets it flop around and hit the stick. Will let you all know what I find in there after I boroscope it.
 
Finally had a chance to get back to everyone. Found the issue and it is unreal that Harley would let a bike out like this. The case hole that is drilled and threaded for the trani dip stick is not drilled all the way through. You can actually see where the drill bit stopped leaving the hole with about 25% of the diameter closed at the bottom of the hole. This is where the dip stick is rubbing up against the rough edge. It looks like the only way to fix this would be to takethe trani case apart and drill the remaining material off. In the mean time I will just cut the dip stick. Might bring it back to Dealer and ask for a new case or replace trani.

I would reccomend all 6 speed trani owners look inside the trani dip stick hole with a flash light. If you dont see a perfect round hole at the bottom of the case check to see if there is any rub marks on the dip stick.
 
Thanks for the heads up Joe.I am going to go out right now and have a look.I will also be getting that spare.Can't believe that HD let this out the door.
