Default OK...what am I doing wrong?

Just turned over 5000 miles and went out today to check the transmission fluid level. I can't get to that darn filler plug!!! The oil reservoir keeps me from getting a 3/8 drive in there and and I don't have an angled drive to clear the muffler.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Ball head allens are a necessary tool for my Harley. So many of the capscrews are at a place you have to get at them from an angle.

Years ago I bought an allen wrench set & noticed they had the regular hex end & round on the other end. I thought, what the hell is that round end for? When I got my Deuce & first changed my trans oil I discovered what the round end was for..
