Default A few questions

Hey all, I have a few questions about a 97 Softail Custom. A friend of mine has asked me to service his bike for him and he doesn't have the service manual. What is the oil fill capacity on a wet oil change? Tranny and primary capacities as well. Also, looking to replace the fork oil as well. What is their recommended fill capacity as well?

Thanks in advance

3 qts 20w50 in the oil tank, about 20 oz in the tranny and 1 qt of primary lube in the primary.

Fork oil I don't know.. it's 13.4 ounces in a 2010 FatBoy Lo, but that's the FL style front end
