Sumping, Transfer, Breather..........
I have an 18" Fat Boy 114. It has 2600 miles on it.
I know this has been discussed many times, But, what and how should I look for to see if my M8 is experiencing any of these symptoms?
I read the softails don't have this issue, the touring bikes do.......
Thanks!

2 - Sumping can happen, but doesn't. It's exceptionally rare on the Softails.
3 - Breather puking -- the owner's manual addresses that. If the oil level is too high, it pukes, so lower the oil level. Most of us with no issues run at an oil level halfway between the full and add qt line.
So, in short, don't worry about any of that, like the others said just ride.
