The coolant gets drained by:
The trick is the screw on the water pump with the brass washer. It is located at "~8:00" on the housing.

Once you drain the coolant there is a critical bleeding procedure:
BLEEDING COOLANT
1. Allow the engine to cool.
2. See Figure 1-55. Remove the radiator cap and wrap the
filler neck with a shop towel to contain spilled coolant.
3. Fill the filler neck with coolant. Use only GENUINE
HARLEY-DAVIDSON EXTENDED LIFE ANTIFREEZE &
COOLANT (Part No. 99822-02).
NOTE
Reving the engine will draw more air into the system. If reved,
shut off the engine and restart the bleeding.
4. Start the engine and run at an idle.
NOTE
To bleed air from the system, the thermostat must be open.
The thermostat opens at 165° F (73.9° C).
5. As air bubbles up through the filler neck add coolant to
maintain the coolant level at the bottom of the filler neck.
6. Continue until no air bubbles are escaping the filler neck.
7. With the cap off, allow the engine to cool.
8. Top off the filler neck with coolant as necessary.
9. Install the filler cap.
10. Top off the overflow bottle.

Oh yeah, make the bike is on the side stand or the filler neck is no longer the highest point.

This process needs to be followed word-for-word otherwise you get to start over from step one.

BTW: they sell the SM everyday ;+}

Fuel drain plug is on the lowest part of the left side frame section.
