On the water pump cover there is one bolt that has a copper washer. That is the drain bolt.

Do a search it has been detailed previously. Bleeding requires a specific process.

I haven't seen nor heard of a flushing process.
Drain and re-fill until clear?
Left side drains with the radiator hose, right side the bottom pump housing screw with a brass washer.

FSM says replace that washer every time.

Make sure bike is on the sidestand!!!

Yea, there is a 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.

When I did my bike last year I made sure to flush it real good a few times. I use Liquid Performance and have good luck with it so far.
