HD are taking my buell xb12ss back in tomorrow. I noticed today that there is oil all over the rear end breaks, tyre, shock and rear plastics. It's alot of oil Not just a few drops. Any ideas, the filler cap for oil is tight. Just searched forums couldn't see anything about this so...more for own knowledge so I can also seem a little knowledgable at the deallers.

Leaky crank seal blowing out through the gearbox breather?

Have you spragged the swinging arm apart with a siezed spindle? The arm has been known to split because of this?
