Ok another, 88 flstc have pick between shocks which bolt is tranny drain. Do the bolts also look right looks like they have a threaded arm in the middle

So the left or right is the drain

 

I would say neither one … look between the shock bodies instead of the rods … I think it takes something like a 3/4 socket

 

Here is the transmission drain plug on a 2003 Heritage. It is the OEM plug that takes either a 1/4 hex or 5/8" socket...... It is located between the forward/front end of the shock bodies...

 

Look at the face of the transmission behind the exhaust pipe under the cover staring at you in the face should be an Allen plug. That's it.

 

Thanks guys different options I will take a look

 

Ok you were right it was staring at me in the face behind the pipes great thanks !

 

Welcome, the others have newer bikes so their drain is in a different spot.

 

When you wrote, "88 flstc" I immediately thought 88ci, twin cam, flstc.....

It didn't even occur to me you had a 1988 flstc EVO.... I had a 1989 FLSTC and it was a great bike...

Sure glad Ranger was paying attention....!
