Also, even after a long day's ride, I've noticed surface bubbles when I look into the tank. I think there is enough of a flow-rate to create some surface agitation that results in bubbles.
I've noticed that for 20 years on numerous bikes; all normal.

RE: Air in oil
The guys are right, itsa common thing in scavenge or dry sump pump systems.
Its only when you get air in the supply side thatyou have problems.
Even then in Harley's its not that big a deal. Because of their heavy use ofroller and ball bearings they are not as vulnerable to the same kind of damagethat an engineuseing babbit bearings would have if air got into the supply or pressure line.
