Hi all, i need your help :( Just to finish to rebuild my FXB 1981. I didn't work in motor, and last autumn worked great! For resume, start it for first time a A LOT of oil go out from breather. I know it's normal but after 4 pints of oil it's not normal. Waiting your tips about that.

Sounds like your engine "wet sumped" or you have your breather hose on the wrong fitting (you said you did some work on it so maybe you hooked up a hose wrong). Did your oil tank level mysteriously drop while you were working on it or as it sat in storage? If it did, it has "wet sumped." Not sure about your particular engine but there used to be a little drain plug for the crankcase on the left side of the bike below the primary cover that would allow one to drain the crankcase. If you do have the plug, be very careful removing and installing it (ya don't want to booger it up). Otherwise you'll just have to crank the engine and let it pump out. You will need to address the check valve ball in the oil pump to get it to stop oil flow to the crankcase when not running.
