Default Please help with my oil drain question.

Hey all. I just bought a second bike a Thunder Mountain Custom Spitfire and can't figure out where to drain the oil from. I posted this over in the "Custom" section but with only 94 pings and one chime and I need some direction here. ) Can you all please take a look. It's a softail so I should be ok by the moderators. Pics included. Thanks....

It's a 2009 Thunder Mountain Spitfire has a 1200cc evo engine on it. To keep things simple please respond here. I'll post additional pics in a few minutes. Thanks.

That could be it. Odd place for it.
Could you post a pic of the other side?

My guess is that would be it then. Looks like it'll be messy without a special funnel.

Nice lookin hotrod. Usually on a Softail the drain plug is under the frame directly below the swingarm pivot on the right side. But if you don't see any tubes running from the right rear corner my educated guess is that bolt you are pointing at is it.

Ok thanks. Yea, there isn't any such tube running down at all. I've been under there about 10 times, just hoping it appears and I was missing it.

This bike is super quick. It probably weighs something like 10lbs. haha. It has a 1200cc evo engine, but seems night and day quicker than my 2012 Heritage with the 103 and very light in weight.

Thanks man...
