Checking oil level

Recent press reports suggest Triumphs are very sensitive to oil level. Particularly 675s and Tigers
Triumph don't put a sight glass on many of their bikes. Plus the manual says the bike should be off the stand and on its wheels upright and level to check the oil accurately. Thing is how do you ensure the bike is level and upright when checking the oil?

Well I've come up with a solution. Buy a small spirit level. Like the type of thing that photographers use, and fix it to the instrument cluster or inside the fairing. Sorted! Now you can level the bike wherever you are to check your oil.
