Default 14 ultra limited leaking fluid

has anyone experienced fluid running down their right fork? I'm assuming possibly break fluid but I can't find where it's coming from. After a long ride it will run down the right fork and spray back on my tank and lower fairing like it's from high pressure. Can't find where it's coming from but it's extremely annoying bc it gets everywhere. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Turn your bars to the side and look behind the bottom of the fairing and see if the tops of the fork legs are wet.

If it were brake fluid you'd have no brakes and the tank and lowers paint would be ruined.
If the fluid is oily it probably the forks.
The only other thing it could be would be coolant.

Check for excess grease on the bottom triple tree/steering bearing area.

Won't be any excess grease. Rushmores ('14 & later baggers) have a different front end & no grease fitting.

Fork seal.
