Hey your bike is fine.
it's normal to worry about it but if the stealer said the service was done it most likely was.
it's not good to fill to the top cause it will just blow out.
When you checked your oil it was most likely still draining back.
I blew an oil line off the oil cooler one day and all my oil blew out causing a big mess and almost lost control in the twisties.
I was able to ride it to my friends house around the corner and it was still draining all over his driveway.(dirt) He gave me a ride back to my house and I had new oil to fill. Repaired the oil line and have been riding it since. No damage.
My friend told me that the twin cam engine has a small reserve for the crank and it would be hard to damage it.
I use and have always used Amsoil and it proves itself every ride.
For what happened to you I wouldn't even bother getting concerned.
