Oil in the Air Filter?
Just got back from a 4-day, 1200 mile ride on my 2009 Street Glide. I noticed that oil was dripping from the air filter and spraying all over the right side of the bike. A nice mess. I stopped at a HD Service Dept on the way, and the tech said this happens on long hauls at highway speeds!
Upgrades on my bike include K&N filter, V&H pipes, and V&H FuelPac. Mileage is 8000. No problem with performance.
You guys ever hear of this? Any ideas?

It's pretty common and you can find several posts on here about it. Like the others said keep your oil at a moderate level instead of the upper level and it probably wont happen again.

How many miles on the filter.
I had this problem on my FXDI and the local idy told me to clean and reoil the filter. No more drip.
Same thing with my current ride. Was spitting oil on the side of the bike and dripping a little bit. Cleaned and reoiled filter. No more drip.
