Default where is the primary drain plug 05 dyna
have an 05 wide glide but a little confused on the Primary drain plug; where it's at and the tool needed to remove it. It seems they are a little different on various models.
thanks

Could be a torx. Make sure or you'll bugger the plug up.

Thanks for the attachment. I did see this and they seem to identify the torx screws but they say nothing about the drain plug....at least they're not very specific.
I think they were changed in 04 to something different and then again in 06.

top picture shows a tool on the drain screw. it is an allen bolt not a torx screw. Use a 3/16" allen wrench.
