You're looking at the book correctly. I just walked out and looked at mine (02 FXDL). The drain plug is on the right side of the oil sump, on the vertical side, but it's right at the bottom. The oil drains just fine, even if the bike is on a lift. I do all my maintenance, and it's odd looking, but it empties out just fine. [&:]
