Start at the above link. Its basically a microfiche of the harley motorcycles. You'll need to select 1996 and heritage softtail etc but you should be able to find what you want. I used a similar for my suzuki and you can print etc and better than some of the manuals!!!

All Harleys after the year 1992 will have some engine oil carry over visible in the air cleaner though there is a diffrence between excessive and normal although if you get on your bike and travel down the highway at a constant 80+ MPH you will find that you get more carry over to the air cleaner then you would normally riding at lower speeds and this is simply cause you are running the engine harder and therefore you will see more carry over at the air cleaner. Now to be sure, make sure your bike is sitting on level pavement and in the case of a Softtail model it should also be upright and level pull the dipstick from the oil tank and wipe it clean, reinsert fully into the oil tank and remove it again and look to see if your oil level is roughly halfway between the check marks on the dipstick. If so then yes your oil level is good. I would now remove the air cleaner cover and wash any excess oil out of it and if your running a stock air filter and you have had a oil carry over issue for awhile now, then replace the air filter, reinstall the air cleaner cover and go ride the bike for around 50 miles and by ride the bike I mean go ride it like in town and on the highway without being abusive to it or excessive speeds(70 mph). Then remove your air cleaner cover again after your test ride and look to see if you have any oil carry over in the air cleaner. if so let me know and we can go into further detail.

Battery is under seat, either 8 or 10mm wrench to remove terminal nuts. Be careful with cables.

Might be trash in fuel system,check fuel filter for that first.If its dirty maybe you will have to have trash removed from the rest too.

I'm not familiar with every year model but most of the time on a Softail, the oil drain is a hose that runs down the frame on the right side of the bike. It ends down low just behind the transmission. There is a plug in the hose, remove the plug to drain the oil.

Its at the back of crank box right hand side of bike attached to bottom of frame in a sprung clamp just before the softtail swingarm- black hose with a plug and hose clip

36-38 in f 38-40 in r, unless metzler then 40 on both
