Default Can I ask a really really stupid question?

So I need to change my fluids and I've bought the FSM and poked around here and you tube as much as I can right now between work and my 20 month old will allow me, but I can not seem to find a right up or how too on a basic oil change. All I'm looking for is the simple stuff like the 3 drain plugs and fill points. Sorry for such a down to the basics question, but this is my first harley and it's a crazy time for me with 2 under 2 so time is not something I have a lot of. I'd appreciate any help you guys can give me. Again...

I'm an adherent to no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

You should see the documentation and locations for the Softails. Very poor. You're fortunate to have the Dyna in EVO format - slightly easier.

But it is not relevant in this post.

The model being discussed is an Evo...
