My oil level is at the half way mark on the stick. I only add 3 quarts at each oil change.

I found some good info on external breathers and will do that soon.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Everything that has been said is very good advise. But... There is one other thing to consider. You may need to change your umbrella seals in the rockers.

If you have bad breathers and you just vent it to atmosphere, you won't see the oil on the side of your bike, but you will see it start to use oil as it blows it out the breathers.
