Really, cause I have the 2013 manual in my lap, and that's NOT what it says.

Yep, "Really".

As you may correctly surmise, I copied and pasted the data directly from my pdf manual. My 2014 Softail owners manual (same sort of little book you show) says simply 32 oz. with no reference to the 40oz dry. Dunno why Touring and Softail manuals would be different but it seems they are.

1 quart. Bandit recommends running it a tad low for their clutch.

I'll throw one at you, my Dynas use 26 ozs. on a fluid change. Be aware of what models the questions are asked about.

38oz according to the manufacturer for a simple drain and fill.

'09 and later is 38 ounces. I drain it and refill with 38 ounces.

On '08 and earlier it's 32 ounces.

What changed in '09?
My '07 service manual calls for 38/45.

My '07 did as well. Maybe it was the '06 and earlier TC88/5-speed's?
