Oil Change '04 Custom

My boy dropped off his '04 Sportster custom. He does not have the manual and I have to change oil. The drain is different from my '09 Low. I put a mirror under the motor and can't see anything familiar. What should I be looking for? Also any tips on changing oil for both bikes that I should know about?

Thanks
Mueller

Wash your hands BEFORE taking laundry out of the washer and placing it in the dryer. Don't ask me how I know...
