Default More Help Please

I have an 89 FLHT that was passed down, I have just changed the oil. I know this is probly a real dumb question, but what other fluids should I change, and where are those drain plugs located? I plan on picking up a service manual soon.

Thanks
Jack

Change the primary and trans fluid as well. That will give you a benchmark for future maintainence.

Pick a manual up and change all fluids and filters. Don't forget to grease check wheel bearings.

There are only two grease fittings on the bike that I can remember, the steering neck and the brake pedal pivot. As for wheel bearings they have been sealed bearings since 00 (maybe 99 on the Baggers?).
