Default Oil spitting out of my air filter

I put on a chrome spike air filter that comes with these 2 parts that hang down from it and oil is leaking out of it..... Does anybody know why? And how can i stop it from spitting oil?

Me thinks you have over-filled your bike with oil. My bike manual calls for 3.5 quarts. If I use 3.5 quarts, oil blows out of the intake so I just put in 3 quarts.....problem solved. With 3 quarts, the dipstick shows about halfway between add/full marks.

If you do a search you'll find that lots of guys do same as me.
