Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. It is hiding behind that odd-shaped right-hand side cover. To get to it remove the right-hand saddlebag, when you will see the rear end of it. Remove the screw at the bottom of the cover, take out the dipstick (turn it upside down to prevent spills). Gently tease the cover upwards off the oilbag filler. I have an aftermarket seat and take it off to improve access, you may have to do so as well. Remove the negative terminal first!
