The tank has four lines on it. The large line on back side of the tank is the oil drain line. The lowest oil line on the bottom of the tank goes to the feed side of the oil pump. The oil comes out of the other fitting on the pump and goes through the oil filter. It goes to the outer edge of the filter. The oil comes out of the center of the filter and goes back to one of the upper nipples on the tank. There is a vent line that comes out of the case just behind and above the oil pump that goes to the other high nipple of the tank.

If you can't figure out which fitting is which on your oil pump, jack the rear wheel up and put the transmission in high gear, remove the spark plugs. Then, using a oil squirt can, fill the fittings with oil. Turn the rear wheel in the normal direction of rotation and watch which fitting spits the oil out, this is the return side of the pump and the other side is the feed side. Depending on how the oil pump is set up, the feed fitting is the one closest to the centerline of the bike usually. But, It depends on how the pump is set up. If it only has one fitting on the pump outer plate, that is the feed fitting.

Good Luck
Steve

Why is my heritage softail blowing a lof of oil 1993 harley this is not just a little oil

Where is it blowing out of. If it's coming out of the air cleaner , when was the last time it was cleaned and serviced. They need to be cleaned right around every time it's supposed to be in for service.
1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000 miles and so on. Also if it's over filled it will blow more oil than usual. you should be checking the oil hot with the bike upright and level. Try running the oil level about 1/4 of an inch below the top line. It will help with the excessive oil too.

Can't find neutral safety switch on 1993 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail

'93 Heritage Softail doesn't have a neutral safety switch. It does have a switch that turns on the dash neutral light when the bike is shifted into neutral. It is located in the transmission top cover, and will probably be under the oil tank.

,How do I check oil on a 2003 heritage classic?.

With the bike standing straight up, pull the dipstick. The oil level should be between the two lines. The lower line is "Full Cold" and the upper line is "Full Hot". Do not overfill.

Where is the oil drain plug on2009 heritage softail classic

Although I don't normally work on bike newer than 2000 models, I don't think they've changed the oil drain on the Softail models. Look at the bottom of the horse shoe type oil tank from the right hand side of the bike. You should see a line or hose going down somewhere behind the transmission instead to forward to the engine. Follow this line down to the lower part of the frame and you'll see a plug in the line. If you take this plug out, the oil in the tank will drain out. Capacity 3 quarts H-D Syn3 20W50 oil

How to wire a tach on 05 heritage softail

Locate & route Black lead to ground / 2004-later softail: On the frame strap under the seat directly in front of the battery.

Locate & route the pink lead to Signal / For 2004 & later FXST/C/I The #3 cavity in the connector {39b} on the back of the speedometer. The socket terminal on the signal (pk) lead fits the #3 cavity.

Locate & route the Orange and white lead to power / Ummm.. it's saying for 2004 and later to adapt to the fuse block For earlier [ For 1996 to 2003 softail: locate the power lead (o/w) in the tail lamp pin connector {7a} under the seat behind the right rear corner of he battery.] "here you are looking to run it to a fused line, not directly to power/battery" I hope this helped.
