2001 Road King trouble
Just got back from 2275 mile trip. Did an Iron Butt the first night and near the end of the trip oil starting flying out my stage 1 cleaner in a big way. Just had it cleaned prior to trip. Got it cleaned up in Anderson S.C. and they said the filter was plugged. Bike did okay till today on my way home and it threw oil over everything again through the filter. That's 1100 miles since being cleaned at the dealer. Any ideas on what is going on?

Sounds like your filters in the breather assemblies are clogging up and the excess oil can't return to the bottom end efficiently. If that happens, the oil goes out through the breather vents and into the air cleaner backing plate. Also, the umbrella valves in the two breather assemblies could be contributing to this. It is easy to replace the filters if you can do a little wrenching.
