If you can't see the oil then there's not enough.

If you put too much in it will spill out of the derby cover opening.

Damn son' if your bike didn't have the Leg protection shields I'd say I know you. The guy I ride with most of the time has a bike identical to yours. Exact same setup.

To the OP, add the proper amount of oil to the primary and forget about it until the next oil change. That is unless you have a leak..

Wish Harley would take dry out of the manual. That is like undoing a non virgin...
