Odd problem
Just got back from Supporting the usa economy in vegas yesterday.
Managed to win 700 usd so i went and bought some free parts from vegas harley .
In the parts i got a diamond back clutch cable.
So last night in takin off the side cover of the tranny and the oil coming out was milky .
So im thinking right away WATER IN MY TRANNY ???
It is water for sure ......So anyway i swap the cable and fluid .
It must be a bad o ring but it didnt look bad.
Ill get a new one today and run this new fluid for a week and dump it again to be safe
Anybody else ever have this happen to them???

What's the weather been like lately? Could be sitting for a few days generated some condensation, if you had some wide temperature swings.
Other than that, take a look at your vent hose in the top cover of your tranny, make sure it's not plugged and/or highly restricted.

I forded a flooded river in WV several years ago and never gave a thought... rode another 165 miles home and trans was full of milk. Drained and flushed, 10 miles and repeated. Repeated evey 100 miles for 6 changes and still had a little residue in the primary and tranny fluid for years, but didn't hurt anything.
Not certain about the configuration on the later bikes, but basically there are only 2 places water can get in since you have no leaks.. well even if you did - the grommet where the alternator wires come thru the case and the vent (of course the fill hole too) The primary vents thru the tranny. I'd look around those two areas very closely. (grommet and vent)
