Default oil leaks

I have a 91 Fartboy and I have one heck of an oil leak , it appears to be coming off of the rocker box front of the rear cyl, I thought it was the oil lines because they were getting hard and wet but I replaced them all and as I cruise down the road it blows oil all over the oil tank and back..... suggestions on how to determine where the leak is coming from?

Default RE: oil leaks

Yeah, take off the air cleaner cover and see if oil is puking out of the air intake first. If it is you may have too much oil in the bike. If not, clean off the oil when the bike is cold and tighten the rocker box covers and try again.
