You might want to try the "Touring Models" sub-forum rather than the "Softail Models" sub forum of this site. They may be able to give you better advice there.

Good luck and welcome!!!

All models are different, this is why everyone stresses that you need to buy the service manual. With that said, I have no problem scanning/posting any info pertinent to the model my manual is for.

I have 3 Harley and the capacities are different for each bike. Get an owners manual specific for your bike. Ron😎
