To much oil
So dumb me put to much oil in my 03 fatboy.it overflowed and my bike started bucking .I stopped right away and and towed home. I changed the oil and put seafoam injector cleaner in the tank.it starts hard I can get it to idle rough once it warms up, but I put it in gear and ride, it just looses all power,bucks a feels like it's in 4 th gear but it's in first.i need help and every shop seems to be booked up for a month or so.

Overflow from air cleaner? If so It might have fouled your spark plugs. Might pull one and look at it. I would pull the aiir filter as it might might be oil saturated. Go for the low hanging fruit first. Im sure someone can give you better advice,

Where did the oil overflow? If it came out the top of the oil tank then,
there could be excessive oil in the sump. A bike looses all power when the flywheel as to rotate through oil, it aerates the oil and the oil pump cant move air. Pull the dipstick out of the tank, start the bike and watch the oil level. If the oil level gets higher when the bike warms up, it indicates that the excess oil is being pumped out of the sump. It takes a while for all the oil to clear the sump.
