a friend has a 2012 wide glide that does the same thing----------dealership says its strictly emission scavenging the natural crankcase blowby back into the cyl and told him if it has decent oil consumption not to worry about it.I swear I can see it smoke but I am the only one.His started this at the first oil change when he went to synthetic oil.

Compression and leak down tests are in order. Could be leaking valve guide seals.
