primary drain plug location on 1990 heritage softail classic

I see a bolt under the primay, can't seem to fit an allen wrench in it, could it be a hex bolt. Does anyone know where I could find a new bolt. Also is there a oil drain bolt all I see is the hose comming out of the oil pan.

If there is no place the get the allen key on the drain plug drill it out and retap with a helicoil. You might want to invest in a service manual. If you do a search for oil changes, someone posted a link to a video that shows what to do around here.
