Road King Help!!!
I've noticed that my '03 FLHPI has a little oil slobber on the right side.
The air cleaner is soaked with oil and seems to be blowing back to the front of the saddlebag... Anybody have any ideas??? Thanks

Do you run a full 4 quarts of oil or 3.5? If you've been running 4, run it a little low. It is called oil blow by. Some amount is normal under hard driving conditions, if it is puking and soaked then it might be a little more of an issue. You can reroute breathers, you can drill rocker supports for better oil return, you can check the breather baffles, etc.
Same thing was happening to me in my 05 Road King. It was because of me over filling it up on oil changes just like the other guy said. Just make sure you put exactly what they recommend and you'll be fine
