if you can see the oil line at the top of the sightglass with the moto on its centerstand you are good to go...
i fill the burd motobrick to the top of the sightglass before grueling weekend of 2ups... by the time we are done its down to the bottom of the sightglass...
this is know as the start high end up low method compared to the start middle end up off the sightglass method...

I thought the center dot is where you want the level but I see what you'n dewing.
My pump didn't work so amazingly I was able to leak some out through the drain plug without making too big a mess.
edit, finally got around to some site reading and found info that I should have read first, like,
CHECKING/TOPPING OFF THE OIL: Put the bike up on the center stand on a level surface. Check the level in the oil sight glass window when the engine is cold or, if warm, allow several minutes after turning it off to allow oil in the engine to drain down into the sump.
Add engine oil in the filler hole at the right rear top of the crank case cover. Add a little and then give it a few seconds to make it's way into the oil sump and then check the level again. I generally fill it to about 2/3 to 3/4 level between the top and bottom of the the ring for local riding or, if I'm planning on going for a long ride (500+ miles), then I fill it to the top of the ring in the oil sight glass window. Check the oil level at least daily when out touring.I also found a page that had several parts shopping sites listed but I can't seem to find it now, besides BeemerBoneYard.
I really like to find a set of tip-over bars so I can add some highway pegs.
