Did you run the motor before changing the oil? If not, how long did you let it run when you started it?
It's not unusual for a lifter to go down if the bike sits for months and it takes a few minutes of running for it to pump back up.

Good point. My Street Bob ran like that for about 15 mins after winter storage. I thought the bike was trashed somehow but it worked itself out.
