WTF? No 5/16" hex wrench on it! WTF? Good is it?
Dig deeper into saddlebags pulled out set of ball tip hex wrenches, wiped out housing of excess oil and has been fine since. Maybe if dump hose went a bit deeper into throttle body?
Guess I'll watch / clean it more often...

Best way for MoCo to solve the excessively oiled air filter is to have the breather dump hoses inboard of the throttle body butterfly.
'Til then, tho, the right side of a lot of Harleys will continue to be a dust magnet.......
