The bike comes from the dealer without the neccessary fill spout. First locate the crankcase on the right hand side, drill 3/8" hole in the top of the case, pour in 1 litre/quart of Prestone antifreeze via small funnel, then seal the hole with JB weld. All is good until you start it next spring. (lol)
Be sure to pick up the muffler bearing/antifreeze fill cap removal tool at the stealer. $79.99 at Zanottis, with discount.

Let me know if you want pics of my home made wrench and I'll see if I can find 'em.
I wanted to ask the newsales guy at the dealershipthis question afterI overheard himtelling a customer that an 06, slammed, 21" Wheel, totally customed out Street Glide ,was an 05 Ex-Cop Street Glide! In fact I think I will next stop.
Not funny, I do have to occassionally grease my muffler bearings, i hate that damn chirping sound. As far as antifreeze goes, I use a heated jacket liner and some Bacardi in front of the fire.
I have been out in the garage all morning and half the afternoon and I finally found the antifreeze fill plug, now off to the auto parts store to find a funnel that will fit.
