i suppose it could be different, but on my 01 EGC it is the plug facing down. The one facing to the front is your tranny plug.

Found on this forum, I just searched "hd forums, harley drain plug location" in Images/Google.

Good Luck

Appreciate the responses guys. I actually figured it out before I saw Dawg's reply. Don't sweat it Gofer, I was a little baffled on how different the setup was. Dawg, I don't know how I didn't find that wiki answer before, I've been looking for the past couple days and looked at a number of wiki answers but never saw that one...info overload sometimes...thanks again guys for the quick responses and help.
