The one pointing to the floor. Maybe I did drain the tranny. I dunno. It's been a while since I did this myself and I couldn't remember where the oil pan plug was. Wouldn't be the first time I did something goofy like that. I'm not real mechanically inclined.

yup..you drained the trans :clap: no worries it probably needed it anyway. The oil pan plug faces forward and is more toward the left side of the bike...now go ahead and do the primary and yer good

Well this isn't the dumbest thing I've done so I guess I'll just live and learn. Closest dealer is 1.5 hrs away is there any particular recommended fluid besides Harley stuff? And where do you put it in ? lol Oh, and what is a primary?

Trans fluid goes in on the right side. You will see a flush cover with a hex head in it, thats the trans dipstick, unscrew it and put in any decent gear oil 75W-90 or higher.

Primary drive is the cover on the left side of the bike, it has the clutch and Stator in it and transfers the power from the engine into the transmission. That side can take 10w-40 oil, 20w-50 or any high grade 80w gear oil. Ya gotta get a manual though before you go much further... Good for you jumpin right in there...your not the first to drain the trans thinkin it was the oil...come to think of it I think I did so a long while back too! :clap:

Do Not Use Gear Oil In Your Primary!!!!! Use Engine Oil , Trans Fluid Or H-d Formula +

That really should be amended to say don't use heavy duty hypoid or differential gear lube in your primary. And never use any oils with friction modifiers (which many hypoid gear oils contain). What I was referring to is motorcycle gear lube for wet clutches...I run 80w Golden Spectro in mine...have run motor oil (10-40), Type X, the old HD chaincase lubricant....no real difference in any of them as far as I am concerned.

10-40w motor oil is about the same viscosity as an 80w gear oil...
