Deep breath! Hell, I am hyperventilating! First, we not only need to identify where these magical oil drain plugs are but then give great thanks on pre-Thanksgiving Day for all of the different kinds of oil we can put into those mysterious holes. Oh nooooooooo, we have morphed this thread into another fun oil thread
Just kidding. Wishing one and all a very Happy Thanksgiving and a moment for all of us to reflect on how lucky we are to own some fun trikes!

Gary, I am so sorry for mis-communicating.
In all my posts in this thread I have been trying to confirm that what you first posted is accurate advice for the OP. I agree with your photo's 100%.
My most recent post was confirming that the photo in the HDF post that Zook referenced was of a Twin Cam, NOT of a Sportster. HDF wrongly used a Twin Cam photo in describing how to change oil in a Sportster.
Please keep posting! I know I enjoy your posts, and I'm sure many others do.
Again, my apologies for not being more clear...at no point was I criticizing your post, rather endorsing/affirming that I agree with it.
Kevin
I was just having a bad day. I hope the OP found the plugs he was looking for.
Lets just forget and move on. Have a Happy Thanks Giving, and may God Bless

I am extremely fortunate. I have an excellent indie an hours ride away by back road that lets me bring my own oil. He has filters. Between my back and knee issues, getting down on the ground to change the oil just doesn't cut it anymore. I'll pay the $35 he charges.

I figured the transmition drain was in the cross member hole. After all this Turkey day stuff settles down I'll take a picture and we'll have another go at it. I do thank everyone for the help and hope all have a happy Turkey Day.
As you are facing the trike from the front, directly under the primary cover is it's drain plug. On the air filter side is the drain plug for the transmission. Access is through a hole in the cross member. Oil pan drain plug is on the left front under the pan. Both the oil and transmission drain plugs are the same size hex. They also have a recess built into them for an allen bit. That is how the dealership techs remove them.

Man I didn't mean to start a war. And after my last back surgery plus having to wear tri focals, and sold my lift when I went trike, this half blind and beat up vet just can't get around like I was 18. But with ya'lls help I finally located the rascals. And just to throw this in I have been working on my stuff since I got out of the service along with a Mercury Marine Dealership, air boats, mud boats, marsh buggies, gun smithed and the list could go on so I fill very confident that I am mechanically inclined enough to continue working on my own stuff unless I just don't want to. And as far as the great oil discussions..........Thanks again guys
lol All is cool bro. I am in the same boat. I can get down to do the fluid changes, it's the getting back up that is the issue for me. Sucks. All these tools I've bought over the years and now they simply take up weight and space. Oh well, at least I can still ride some.

I hear you Mikey. I finally figured out why my Dad never told me about getting old. The way I was living my life I guess he figured I'd never live this long
Great news u found the plugs and now you should be a member of the over seventy
club and still ridding. gettin down is the easy part, gettin up is dang near impossible
with out help or something to grab onto. I am almost to the point, let some body
else do the oil change. No war that I can remember, heck I don't remember what I ate for lunch.
God bless and be safe.

gaining on 70 way too fast but can damn sure relate to the getting up part
A person has to work hard to get flamed on this forum. You may get a friendly nudge now and then, but for the most part everyone is very supportive. We are mostly all 'mature' in age (except for TGCarol) and share the same issues dont we?
