Road King oil?

00BUCKSHOT

most of you know i went up to maryland and bought martysnarf's 05 roadking for my dad,i'm going to change all the fluids in it in the morning/i have a wideglide on a normal oil change the engine gets alittle under 3 quarts/is the roadking the same?wideglide tranny gets 22ounces of 85w-140 mobil1 gear oil will the roadking take the same?main reason i'm concerned is i don't want to over fill anything and have to drain alittle and check....repeat...repeat lol get my drift?

Make sure the bike is level when you fill the primary,fill it to the bottom of the clutch basket.My bet is you won't get over 32oz. in it. If you fill it to the book spec. it will lurch terribly at start up and the clutch will engage with a jerk instead of smoothly
