Description of the problem	I bought this 3/28/2006 and my air cleaner has oil coming out onto the exhaust and myself as well as anywhere behind the aircleaner on down to some degree. I took it to a harley dealer in iowa since i was a ways from my purchase dealer. They said to keep an eye on it to see if it will stop. I was upset and did not go back. Why do they think i was there just to say hi,unbelievable. I have seen ways to do divert the oil. At xl forum but it is not fixing the problem it is just a patch at best. Some say run less oil. But it still boils down to the bad componet. I have been stuing over this for a long time and finally had to say something. At almost 60 yrs old i just need to get this off my chest and see if someone will read this and get ahold of me and do something about the problem. We will see. This happens while riding the bike and setting as long as the bike is running. I am just tired of the oil getting all over my clothes and having to clean up the oil so no one says hay it's a harley what do you expect. Like the old school bikes. I hope others will see this and tell us all that there;s is doing it too. On the plus side it runs hard sounds great with custom exhaust not straight pipes. Looks great pearl black you can;t go wrong with pearl paint. I love the stance and it gives me pleasure on the rode minus the oil thing, without the oil problem i would say it is a perfect ride power looks and just plain old fun. So someone please get ahold of me to get this perfect thanks...
