Oil Leak
After I ride my stock 95 1200 for about 10 miles, while wearing shorts, I notice a light film of oil on my right calf. So far I can't find the source. Any ideas?
Thanks

Run your fingers on bottom side of air cleaner cover lip. Thats where it surely is coming from. Stock air cleaners have the breather bolts venting in the air cleaner which will drip out. Especially with hard acelleration. Try a different air breather kit. I got mine from NRHS. Its the round black billet aluminium one, and looks fantastic IMPO. It routes the breather from the heads down to the bottom of the bike with 3/8" fuel hose, atmosphere vent. At least its not getting on me or my bike anymore. Just don't overtighten the brether bolts, like I did. I broke one, and had to replace.
But I am very pleased with the looks and performance. Love it.

You may possibly have to re-jet your carbs with a better air cleaner though. Talk to someone who knows which particular jets you would need with which ever breather kit you would buy, if thats what you decide to do. NRHS has excellent customer service and help, and have performance air cleaner/breather kits that even keep your stock look...if you want.
