Question Complete service info needed

New to the Harley's. Would like to do all my own work and would like to learn about these bikes. I have a 2004 Deuce and the fience has a 2002 heritage custom. Both need to be serviced so, what I would like to know is how to change the:

Engine oil
Tranny oil
Primary oil

On both bikes. Drain plug location? what cover to pull to fill the primary? Tranny? Etc....... We will be running Amsoil 20-50.

Thanks in advance,
Curt

Best advice we give you here would be to go ahead and buy the manuals for both bikes. You'll be glad you did.
