Oil and capacity question...

Why would you want to add a quart of additive?  Buy a good motor oil and forget the other stuff, it isn't needed.

Check your owner's manual and I believe you will find the capacity is 4 quarts including the filter.  The smart way to do it is to add 3 quarts after draining the old oil and replacing the filter, run the engine at idle for a minute to distribute the oil, then check the oil level with the dipstick and fill to the cold full mark (or slightly less if you have a problem with oil carryover into the air cleaner).  Just dumping in four quarts tends to result in an overfill condition.

Can't speak to your locality but I've seen it in Autozone stores a few different places.

A manual is available on-line if you "register" your bike on the HD website...just in case it takes you a while to get one ordered.
