    ive never been that keen on having to check oil level on dipstick (start and run 3 mins wait 5 mins in handbook) most bikes I've had use sightglass,i assume there is no such thing as a casing with sightglass that fits on triple or no way to convert original casing.

    Not that I am aware of...you could make your own if you are brave enough :)

    One thing I would say is when checking the level on the Speed Triple, screw in the dipstick all the way to get the correct level.
    Last time my Triumph dealer did a service they overfilled mine at the service (to keep the warranty - I usually do my own service) as they measured it to the stick resting on the port. I had to remove over half a pint to get it to the correct level - I did mention it to them afterwards

    unlikely. it's major work for such a minor inconvenience.

    Agreed, and sight windows also introduces a new risk factor, they can leak or even break. These days there are scrotes about that would find it amusing to stick a screwdriver through it.
