The oil drain is a large diameter hose with a metal plug in it. It runs down along the backside of the frame just behind the transmission on the right hand side of the bike. There is a metal clip welded onto the frame to hold the hose. Take the hose out of the clip, remove the plug, and drain the oil tank. Refill with three quarts of oil

The transmission drain is a small 1/8" pipe plug that takes a Torx wrench to remove. It is located on the right side of the transmisson just below the chrome clutch release cover. The tranny takes 20-24 ounces of H-D trans lube or Syn3 oil. The transmission fills through the large hole in the top of the chrome clutch release cover. It takes a 7/16" hex key to remove the plug, It has a dipstick on the plug.

Where are the oil drain plugs on 06 heritage softail

Oil tank drain plug is a hose on the right side of the bike that goes down to a fitting on the frame, behind the transmission. The drain plug is threaded into this fitting on the frame and is accessible from under the right frame rail.
Trans drain plug is underneath the trans housing.
Primary drain is to the rear of the primary housing.

Oil change

You owner's manual should tell you how to change the oil. On a Softail, the oil drain is a hose that runs from the oil tank down to the lowest part of the frame right behind the chrome cover on the end of the transmission on the right side of the bike. It has a "plug" in it. Loosen the clamp, pull the plug, and the oil will drain from the oil tank. While it's doing this, change the filter. Yeah, that's a messy job. Once the oil has drained out, replace the plug and refill the tank with the correct amount (3 quarts) of the correct oil (Harley Syn3 or equil).

Harley davidson flstc heritage softail 1997

The fork oil is a very specific job needing a manual and a special tool, I don't want to insult anyones mechanical knowledge but if you have never done it before, best to take somewhere else. Engine oil on the other hand is easy, the drain tube to any softail is on the right side by where the frame meets the swing arm, has somekind of plug in it. Start and run bike for a little while, long enough to get it warm but not hot. Remove fill plug and then remove plug in drain line. Using a peice of cardboard or something put in between filter and frame , directing the oil to your drain pan instead of where ever it goes. Put 1 qt oil back in (after everything is reinstalled) start the bike and make sure the oil light goes out, when it does shut bike off and fill to the point that when it is standing upright you get a little oil on the tip of your finger, over filling may result in loss of oil cap from pressure (been there)

Oil change on FLSTC 2006

The oil drain plug is located on the right hand side of your bike  as if you were sitting on it, in front of the swing arm right off of the frame rail. The drain plug is a 5/8 bolt.
