Variable Oil Level / False Dip Stick Reading

Variable Oil Level / False Dip Stick Reading
I have an '05 Heritage and while checking the oil before a ride noticed it was low. This was a sudden change as the level was consistent for the first 3 months I owned the bike.
Added oil and noticed before the next ride that the oil level was over-full. Took out the extra oil and have had consistent oil level since. It's been a couple months.
Any ideas what would have caused the initial low (false) reading on the dip stick. This has only happened one time in the 6 months I've owned the bike.
Checked the oil on the stand per the manual every time.
Sometimes it's a couple weeks between rides.
Thanks in advance for any direction.
