Question Hey all

I just bought a 2006 XL 883.

I have a few questions about it.
1.) Where is the crank case oil plug located?
2.) Where is the dip stick located?

These may be ignorant questions to some of you, but it'd really help me out if you can answer and not be a smart butt about it. Thanks.
