I agree!
ANYONE that can't figure out how to change their own oil even after
saying they have an owners manual is a moron!

My '97 FLHTCI uses the 3/4" and I would assume yours does also. There
are two drain plugs close together. Remove the wrong one and you get a
trickle of oil. Remove the correct one and you get a lot of oil.
That's the oil reservoir. Drop by the local Harley dealer and get a
Service Manual and you'll save yourself a lot of expense.

Tranny oil will be very clear as opposed to engine oil with all the
contaminants. Ping me at bill27612 REMOVE at yahoo dot com and I'll
shoot you a couple of .jpegs to use until you get the manual.

You got the drunk part right and most alkies tend to be over weight.

He's a troll and best filtered. He changes his name but a little
creativity in your filtering will put a moat around your castle.

I've been very successful over the last couple of years. The problem
is when he is quoted and you discover he still exists.

You are the one I owe "thanks" to for making me dig into Forte Agent's
kill file mechanism and almost getting Ken and Gidiot totally out of
the purity of my system.

Hope you and your family have a good Turkey Day.

Owners manual? You're kidding right. Of course, you need to go out and buy
the Service Manual for your bike. Run don't walk. If you still can't figure
it out, take it to a shop, this ain't yer thing.
