Default 1996 Fatboy oil change???

couple questions:

I assume the hose leading from the oil tank to the frame, with a silver plug in the end is the drain?

Is the tranny drain on the right side, under the chrome cover...either a torx or allen head "set screw" looking bolt? I looked at it today buy cant remember the head type)

I didnt look at primary side...but assume drain is near bottom, below the derby cover

Volume:

1 qt in tranny
1 qt in primary
2.5 in oil tank (told that by the parts dude at AD Farrows)

Using HD SYN 3

thanks

Please do yourself a huge favor, go back to that dealer dude, and get a manual. It will make you and your bike very happy.

Yes, the oil drain is at the back of the frame. Whatever you do, NEVER, EVER, EVER REMOVE ANY PLUGS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE CASE!!!

The tranny drain is between the front of the shocks, the primary is on the bottom of the primary.

Again, that manual is worth it's weight in gold, and HD only charges $60. It's a great deal!

Tranny drain is allen head, under side cover.

Primary drain under derby.

Get a manual.
