How to easily see level of hydraulic fluid

This is a DIY fix rather than a spec review: the owner builds a homemade popsicle-stick dipstick extension to make the MT125's hard-to-read hydraulic fluid level easier to see, since the factory dipstick and clear float were tough to judge. It walks through gluing, marking, and trimming the tool, then testing it on a cold engine. Useful mainly for current MT125 owners frustrated with checking hydraulic fluid, not for shoppers.
