How are oil lines routed in a Harley Evo?

When do you put the oil back in the tank?
Start the m/c and let it pump itself out approx. 1 to 1 ½ qts depending on how long the m/c sat and sumped. If you use a clean bottle, you can put the oil back into the tank. Make sure sumping has stopped out of the breather hose and cap off oil system when m/c has warmed up.
