checking the oil level on the MK Indy (BEC) installation

Maybe, I am being a little stupid, but how are others checking the oil lever in their BEC Indy - I have a zx9r engine with the clutch plate and the oil level window to the front of the car, which means I cannot see it (at least I think I can't unless I take the nose cone off!
what are others doing?

I use the old rear view mirror from my donor and a torch!

Thanks Mike, I was just doubting myself.

On your Indy, you should be able to see it by getting on your hands and knees and looking through the section of missing bodywork at the point your wishbones pass through it on the drivers side...

Cheers Steve, that sounds much easier.

I can just get my head in past the nose cone but you have to be very carful you don't catch your ears on the way out
