Sumping?
I helped my brother put in a cam and the new oil pump in his twin cooled 2018 CVO limited. We added 4 quarts of oil and the tune, started it. Warned it up and checked the oil. showed 1 quart low. I suggested add only 1/2 quart only. He started it and it was idling for about 2 minutes and all of a sudden clang clang clang. Shut it off and checked the oil. Barely touching the stick. How can this be? Anyone else have a problem with the newest pump?

Couple things, what else did you do while you had the cam chest apart? Clang could be push rods, how many miles on the lifters?
Are you certain that you put the O rings on the new pump? Missing O ring on the suction side will not pull the oil out of the sump.

Typically you add 4 .5 qts on an oil & filter change, although I only add 4.25 myself. Then you opened the cam chest, that holds about 8 oz. Sounds like the level is about right after only adding 4.5 Qt's

Pull the crank position sensor and see if you strike black gold in there, hopefully not but an easy 30 second check.
