I'm changing my derby cover to one that has a license plate holder attached to it. Here's my situation.....when I took off the stock derby cover, I had the bike on its kickstand. It wasn't long after that oil leaked out and onto the ground. Since I'm a complete newb..heres my question.... was the liquid indeed oil? Also, how do I properly put the liquid/oil back into it? What I mean is, do I just fill 'er up with oil how I normal do....or is there a different way to replenish the oil in this case?
Spend the $100 bucks on a bike lift, to hold the bike level. A 2x4 under the kickstand is dangerous. If your going to do stuff on the bike, lawnmower anything they are worth it.

Thanks for all the good advice. Yea a bike lift (or at least a friend holding the bike) is a good idea. So I basically put the oil back into the hole...nothing special? What oil do you recommend? It's an 06 low rider with about 1950 miles on it. I'm overly paranoid.
