<< Just one question:
 Where does one access the oil dip stick and the coolant fill bottle with
 these?
 Disappointingly on the Eurospec conversion one must unload gear, mattress,
 and open the engine cover to gain access to the oil dip stick and the
 coolant fill bottle. A real inconvenience for soneone who likes to check
 his oil and coolant with every gas fill up.

you can modify the dipstick tube (make it longer) so you can still access it
thru the rear lisc plate flap.  i had a 77 westy, with a 412 engine in it..the
oil dipstick was in the top center of the engine. too hard to check...so i
used a long dipstick from a Ford 351, and cut it to fit.....worked great!
