Really? Do you now that on some Softails it's in the right hand side, under the transmission? And sometimes tucked up underneath, between the shocks? So basically, for my bike you have no idea?

Never seen a primary drain on the right side, but yours is below the derby cover, NEXT to the mounting bolt/screw. It might have a torx type socket.
Here is a picture...follow the red arrow.

Try to follow along, I`ll go slowly...

Through 2006, Softail primary drain plugs are located on the lowest part of the outer primary cover .

2007 and later Softail primary drain plugs are located on the lowest part of the inner primary cover .

There are no primary drain plugs on the right side, and no primary drains in between the shocks.

I told you exactly where to find the primary drain plug.
