Default A little help on location of drain plugs

Got my oil changed over to Mobil V-Twin this am. After looking at the service manual and trying to read that picture for the location (which looks like it's in the side, not the bottom of the transmission), I'm left scratching my head for the location of the transmission drain plug. I had it on the lift, but think my lift bars might have been blocking it; lowered it and then stuck my mirron underneath. I note there appears to be a drain plug between the two shocks. Is this it? Also noticed a nice, conveniently located drain plug in the bottom, but looks like it was locked in with loctite or some sealer. Not sure what the heck this is for.
Any help would be appreciated. Harley would have made it easier if they stuck a picture in there to actually see what you're looking for, but hey.

The tranny plug on a Softail is underneath between the shocks.

Thanks!! It was a process of elimination, and I was pretty sure that was the location, but thought it can't hurt to check before I hit it tomorrow. Besides, folks here are so helpful.
