Default Changing oil
Bought a 2001 Ultra Classic (Shriners model) in Ohio and rode it home to San Diego and now I want to change oil and filter. Bike didn't come with Owner's Manuel and the one I ordered from local HD dealer hasn't arrived yet. Not new to bikes (alse have 1999 Softail Custom) but for the life on me can't tell where oil drain plug is on this bike...Please help the new guy

I believe you can go to Harley-Davidson dot com and enter your VIN to get a owners manual

You might want to consider changing the Dead Cat for a Screamin' Cat. They sound awesome.
