Where is it blowing out of. If it's coming out of the air cleaner , when was the last time it was cleaned and serviced. They need to be cleaned right around every time it's supposed to be in for service.
1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000 miles and so on. Also if it's over filled it will blow more oil than usual. you should be checking the oil hot with the bike upright and level. Try running the oil level about 1/4 of an inch below the top line. It will help with the excessive oil too.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_5bac37c3cb991fdb

SOURCE: oil drain plug

Hi
It is located on the right side just under the oil tank ; if you follow the rudder hose that exits the rear right side of your oil tank it leads to the bottom of the frame under this is the oil plug. This hose has a plug clamped to the end of it or stuck into a prug that is welded to the frame.
After this unclamp and pull the plug to make sure that you have the dipstick out before pulling it loose.

Please do rate the solution as "FixYa" if found useful and revert for further assistance.
Thanks Rylee

SOURCE: REPLACINGTHE REAR TIRE ON A HARLEY DAVIDSON 2008 HERITAGE SOFTAIL

Down and dirty way - take it to the dealer and have them install a new tire....

The hard way: place bike on bike jack and remove rear wheel by removing the axle nut and drifting the axle out of the wheel. Derail the belt/chain and drop the wheel out of the brake caliper. Remove valve stem to deflate the tire. Get a set of tire spoons and a 12 pack of COLD brew cause working with tire spoons is no FUN! Pry the bead loose with one spoon and the work your way around the wheel prying the tire beed to the outside of the wheel. Repeat this process for the back side of the tire (in the same direction as the first side so the tire will come off the wheel. Reverse and repeat to install new tire.

By now you will be loading your wheel into the truck and heading to the HD shop. It just really isn't worth the hastle to save the $25 or so to have this job done.

Align wheel with new tire on it with the brake caliper so that you have one shoe on each side of the rotor (you may have to actually remove the caliper if your pads are thick. Install your belt drive/chain drive and then lift the wheel to insert the axle through the swing arm, the chain tensioner and wheel. Reverse
on the other side. Place axle nut on axle and torque to about 80lbs.

Good to go.

I have a 2004 Harley Davidson FLSTC Heritage Softail. Noise on deceleration and also as accelerate in the same rpm range. This happens most when the engine is hot.

Question edited to add Maker.
Question moved to year make model category.

No description of the noise. Does it should like timing chain rattle? Maybe the tensioners are worn?

Check the oil level as well.

Can't find neutral safety switch on 1993 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail

'93 Heritage Softail doesn't have a neutral safety switch. It does have a switch that turns on the dash neutral light when the bike is shifted into neutral. It is located in the transmission top cover, and will probably be under the oil tank.

How to remove battery from heritage softail 1993

The battery is under the seat inside the "horseshoe" oil tank. Remove the seat by removing the large bolts that take a 3/8" Allen or Hex key type wrench. Lift the rear of the seat and pull it to the rear. You'll see the battery once you get the seat off.

Good Luck
Steve
