Here's a few pics for anyone that is going to change their own oil instead of going to the dealer for service. I would advise getting a service manual for the proper torque and other info.

Here's a pic of the softail engine oil drain viewed from the top of the frame and below the frame in the first and second pics.

In the third pic, you will see the location of the transmission drain plug for softails that is between the two shocks on the bike.

In the last pic, you will see the location of the trans and the engine oil drain plugs for baggers.

Always check the condition of the "O" ring if equipped before reinstalling the drain plug.

NOTE:
One more thing here and that is not to be tempted to remove the plug in the bottom of the engine sump (case) It has been tried by some and in a few cases they have cracked the engine case doing it.
The plug is there from the manufacturing process for the case and is installed with red locktite.

Hi, this is the elephant in the room type question. Why is there not an inspection plug/plate to check the primary case oil and alllow easy changing like an ol' fashion Chevy differential bell housing w/ inspection plug at just above the recommended factory level. You could use your little finger to inspect level, a suction gun to refill and...you know!

Yeah, Yeah I know the purists out there will probably object because of the fancy derby cover they have (including me), but you would think after 100 years of motorcycle experience (not you Glider...Harley), would have figured out a tasteful solution other then woodblocks stacking to level out and raise the bike, countless stripped bolts, wasted knuckle buster weekends, stained driveways and lotsa curses that even the Almighty would have objected to; would have inspired them...heck, we would probably have an aftermarket for someone building a chrome blockoff to make it pretty the way the old oil breathers were on shiny Chevy rocker covers! :newsmile100:

Good question, I'm assuming you are referring to your sporty. Call the MOCO and give them a piece of your mind!:D
