Default 94 Softail Need Help

Need help finding the drain plug on a 94 Softail.

I have it on a jack an have looked "between the shocks" several times.

I have located a torx near to the front of the shocks. There are two torx
at this location one of which I think I can get to. Unless someone has an idea
I will loosen this torx and see what happens.

I have a service manual and have looked at U-tube, no help.

There are 3 drain plugs.
Motor oil drain is at the end of a 1/2" hose coming off the back of the oil bag on the right side.
Transmission drain plug is at the center bottom (27 torks bolt) of the tranny side cover (right side).
Primary is at the rear bottom of the outer primary.

Thanks for the replies.

I had the engine and primary but the transmission still eludes my bad eyes.

I can see the bottom of trans cover but am unable to see a torx plug or any plug centered in the trans or the cover. I see hex caps holding the cover and hex caps that looks to hold the trans case together neither of which are centered.

Is it possible that I need to drop the pipes?

small hex plug bottom of side cover, it's there, pipes might be blocking it.

Look under the chrome part.
It is right in the middle of the black plate that is under the chrome cover.
You may have to drop the pipes the first time to find it.
Dropping the pipes makes it a whole lot easier to access it but you can do it with the pipes on. It's just a PITA.
