According to the HD Service Manual, there is no easy method to replace the anti-freeze. It states, "....remove PHreeze plugs from outboard cylinder head, located next to piston return spring inspection window. Using the glug method, add anti-freeze until visible while laying horizontal, bike on jiffy stand, closing left eye while lying on right side, unless you are googly eyed then just pour it until it overflows."
I suggest taking in to a cerified Harley Davidson Service Center,

Off to the shop to watch football and wrench on the bike......what could be better.

Well what brand of antifreeze are you using?
Brand I use calls for full strength straight from the bottle.
But I have been known to dilute it sometimes.
Prefferred brand and location of fill opening?
Jack Daniels and open mouth!

I asked the parts guy at HD about this. He told me that if I don't use genuine HD Antifreeze, and have it put in by a Genuine HD Service Tech, it will void the warranty.[:@]
