oil change
does the 05 superglide have more that one oil drain plug somewhere. I drained the oil from it and i did not get very much oil to come out. just wondered if i was missing something there.

Yes the tranny holds about a quart,so if you pulled that plug...congratulations you have succesfully drained your tranny! Hey probably needed to anyhow..the oil plug is a 5/8 with a recessed allen and points out(sideways) you will get 3 1/2 quarts from it,now if you pulled a small allen plug from left side rear you drained your primary....

RE: oil change
it thats what happend, don't feel too bad, you wouldn't be the first person to do that.
Check your dipstick, is there still oil? Are you sure it wasn't too low to begin with? Did you take the dipstick out? (there is a vacuum affect tha will hold back the oil)

Also while your'e in the primary, now is a good time to adjust the clutch.
