The location of 1998 Harley Davidson Road Glide oil drain plug should be in the hole on the motor where the oil drains out.&nbsp\\; If it's not there, I'm not sure where else it may be ...........[8D]
&nbsp\\;
Seriously guy, you join 6/26, come in here with a question like that and start with the "brother" stuff, expect a lot of replies like this.&nbsp\\; First off, get a manual.&nbsp\\; Second, if you are changing your oil and don't know where the drain plug is, I suggest you might not want to mess around with the filter or anything else mechanical.&nbsp\\; Or, maybe you're just tryin' to stir the pot, who knows?

it nice to see someone else thinks some of these posts are pretty lame. I thought it was just me. you would think that after spending $20K on a bike, another $100 for tha manual might just make sense.

Hmmmm, I'm pretty sure this is a Harley Davidson forum where owners can come here with their questions, no matter how new they are to riding our brand of scooters.&nbsp\\; Perhaps some of these responses are covering up the fact that they don't know either and are waiting for someone to give the right answer.
&nbsp\\;
The drain plug for the 1998 RG would be facing forward on the oil pan.&nbsp\\; There will be two plugs, side by side.&nbsp\\; One will require a socket to unscrew while the other will only need the 3/8" socket driver head of your wrench.&nbsp\\; Either one can be used to drain the oil, but the one on the left side of the oil pan will drain more of the oil with the bike on the Jiffystand.

Sorry, did not mean to offend, just trying to inject a&nbsp\\;little&nbsp\\;bit of common sense where I felt it was needed. at some point, he's not going to be near a computer&nbsp\\; - god forbid -&nbsp\\;and he'll have to figure it out for himself. just trying to prepare him for that moment.

That's cool of ya Pied.&nbsp\\; We were all new at it at one time.&nbsp\\; As far as not being near a computer, that's what road service is for.&nbsp\\; 8-)
