Just take a handful of sockets and lie underneath your bike and try them until one fits. Should take you 2-3 minutes. It should be SAE (not metric). My 2007 Super Glide Custom is 5/8" SAE. I figured that out by trying a bunch until they fit.

"....size of the hex wrench that fits the center of the oil change plug?"

That "hole" in the center of the plug is not machined for an allen wrench - better to use a 5/8" wrench as previous poster advised. The rubber bumper for the jiffy stand on my bike limits access for a socket and ratchet so I use a regular open end/combo wrench on that plug.

Thanks. My SG offers no way except for an open end wrench also...

You can just push the jiffy stand bumper out of your way. It moves easily. I use the same 5/8" socket on all.
