Oil everywhere
What is the cheapest way to fix this constant problem of oil coming out the throttle body. Oil runs down the engine and blows back to the bags. I'm not a big fan of washing the thing all the time. The oil is not over filled, if anything I keep it a little low.
Running it a little low worked on my soft tail but not on the 10 Road Glide.

It's normal, oh wait I'm not a HD Dealer I can't say that........
It is normal on our bikes especially if you do engine mods, different air cleaner, etc.....Some do it more then others though.
