Someone on here recently reported success using one of those vacuum pumps - the honey-sucker tube stuck down the filler hole.

It was one of these that he used, and much to my surprise it worked for the trans.

If all you are looking to do is suck the fluid out, just stop by wally world and pick up an oil pump for $14.

They also make an after market side tranny cover with a drain plug in it. Had I not stayed with a Harley SE side cover I would have gone that route when I switched over to a hydraulic clutch.

Just know that once you respond to an older post you'll get the guys that complain you responded to an old post. Can't win

For the record, I've used both, SS and 420 progressive on my Slim. Different animals, but in the end I'm still riding the progressive and wouldn't change.
