Default rectech 100 oil change on a chopper stupid question

Ok so im responsible for a friend to get his Big bear chopper sold. the bike just needed a good polish, clean the fuel tank out, fresh fuel, and new fluids. Now i do all my own maintance on my HD but have a manual. i dont have a manual on this bike. Its a 100 cubic inch revtech softtail chopper and i need to change the fluids. where can i get a manual or guidance on this. i dont see a drain hole on the oil bag, and the fill hole is under the seat and it has no dip stick. i just need to put some fresh oil in it, it has been sitting for a couple years. i i was juist going to pull the lowest oil line off and drain the oil bag, but they are crimped clamps and want to do it the right way. any tips of place to go for info, on specs and capacity and how to? thanks

If Big Bear is like Iron Horse, they will have an owners manual that you can download hidden somewhere in their website.
