Default Milodon or Lokar engine dipstick with longtubes?

Was wondering which is better, or worse...or about the same? I see the Lokar is about 25.00 more and the handle/**** is bigger, but other than that I'm not sure they're much different.

Opinions?

I got away with the stocker on mine. Just bend it a little and don't break it.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a big issue.

Yeah I kept it stock with my hooker lt's too. It was kinda a pita b/c the handle would hit the underside of the cowl when I pulled it out to check the oil. I guess I could bend it even more and make it come out pointing more towards the front primaries. My other reasoning was just to dress up the bay a little bit along with the LPP's I'm putting in.

I'd sand and polish the stocker. You'd be surprised how shiny some of the stock stuff can get once you sand and polish it.
