Put the drain plug back in and pour a quart of formula+ (or whatever floats your boat) in the dip stick hole on top of the tranny case

I only see one dip stick opening. Is it the same for tranny and motor oil?

No 2 seperate openings. Both on the right side of the bike. Larger **** closest to the cylinders is oil dip stick and fill. Smaller one towards the rear of the bike about the same level as oil fill. It is the tranny fill and dip stick. It might even look like a large screw head with a straight slot or a allen head in in. Did you get a owners manual with the bike. It should have all locations for fill and drain in it.

the tranny fill/dip stick takes an allen wrench to remove it

Diagram Ynots posted shows locations clearly. Do you have the correct type of oil to refill it? I know it's a Roadglide, but some useful info in this youtube clip.
