Oil blowback on my Bigshots!!

Not a whole lot of information here to work with but your engine oil level is going to determine much of your carryover issues. Are you venting crankcase gasses to atmosphere? If not, why not? My 103" is a carryover beast but I can keep it under control with accurate engine oil levels and external breathers; the engine oil never touches my Big Shots Staggered pipes. On a cold engine oil check no more than 3 1/2 hash marks on the stick.
Cleaning up the oil on the pipes is easy; you need to resolve your carryover problem. I run VR1 SAE 50 engine oil and externally vent crankcase gasses to atmosphere.
A good read here
Look in to external breathers that vent that hot, oily, oxygen depleted crankcase gas to atmosphere...

The short runs on the hoses and the air flow through the filter as you're riding has given time to evaporate the oil before it condenses back out; I've had no drips of oil since I went to it.
I will be adding Trask Mystfree breathers and opening up the rocker support plate oil drain holes this winter but for now, this setup is working and I'm a happy camper

You're running too much oil in the crankcase. Siphon out about 1/2 cup and go from there.
