Why did my oil tank blow out on my Sportster?

If the dip stick is reading over full after you removed/drained some oil, the oil is still over full. I blew out two oil tanks in the last couple of weeks on my 06 883 Sportster. Traced it back to a little aftermarket air filter I put on. The bolts that came with it were hollow as they were supposed to be but the wrong threads.
