I don't know if this is the right place on the forum, but he goes. I picked up a 92 1200 Sporty (barn find) sat for 5 years. While getting it tore apart I noticed that there was no drain hose to drain. I did see 2 bolts where the hose should be, anyone have any idea why someone would do that?

 

I looked for the drain hose

where is the oil drain line?
and found this plate where it should be

 

 

I found it, after more research. no manual required.
