Nope no bubble. Under the right side(as your sitting on the bike) remove the sidecover and you will find the tank. the cover, if stock, just pops off but be careful. The rubber grommets harden and are not overly friendly. Remove the cap for the tank viola! you have your dip stick.

The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

Interesting, the dipstick is on the left side of my 1981 CB750. I guess that was one of the changes between the SOHC and the DOHC.
