Default 08 RoadKing basics needed,please!

When I bought her, dealer said they would get me an owners manual. Well, they are going out of HD biz, didnt get around to it so... although I have a service manual ordered, I still need some info. Like, check the oil on jiffy stand, don't screw in the dip stick... Same for transmission? What are the preflight checklist items (so to speak). What are he required fluid levels? I should be getting the manual in a week or two but not knowing the basics is driving me crazy! Might make a good sticky for all us newbies!
Thanks
