Question chaincase drain plug.

I have a 2001 Road King Classic.
I am looking for the drain plug for the primary chaincase?
Any ideas or pictures of where this is?

Thx
Wayne

Look underneath the cover, it is a tapered pipe plug that will accept a T27 torx tool, when reinstalling this plug use some pipe thread sealant and leave about 4mm of the plug exposed. The plug goes verticle into the primary.

On my '06 RK it's right at the bottom of the derby cover and is a T30. Make sure to use the right size torx or you'll strip it.
