Would it have been too much to ask for Harley to make the oil drainplug a little more obvious?
I've been under this thing four times and STILL aint sure!
It's a '00 Ultra Classic, with oil cooler.
The previous owner (by phone) told me that it's an allen head plug, toward the front.
Well, there are a BUNCH of allen heads under there, and the oil pan looks like it encompasses the tranny AND the enigine.
Which is the easiest way to identify the right plug/bolt/screw to drain the engine oil?
Thanks folks! I'm leaving on a cross-country ride Saturday morning, and I need to get this simple oil change done!!

THANKS MAC!
I'll give it (ANOTHER) closer look tomorrow.
Guess I just never expected it to be on the left side.
Does it look like a bolt, or is it a countersunk hex head screw?
Thanks again!!
