There is a large hose that runs down behind the transmission on down to the very bottom of the frame behind the exhaust pipes on the right side of the frame. It usually ends down on top of the lower frame tubes with a large metal plug in the end of the hose. I think later models have the hose run to a crossmember of the frame with a plug that screws into the crossmember from underneath. Remove the plug and drain the oil. Refill with three quarts of oil with a filter change. SAE 20W50.
There is a hose or steel line that comes from the bottom of the right side of the oil tank and runs down the frame. Look for a plug held in by a clamp or a screw in plug just behind the transmission on the frame. Trace it up to the bottom of the tank or vice versa.
Its simple. Softails drain from the oil tank, not the engine. Look directly under the bike in the area of the tank. U will see a hose with a plug. Remov the plug and drain the tank. Refill with 2.5 qts of oil and yer done
