Change the filter or just change the oil and filter

I have a small problem with over-filling the oil.
I have three choices the oil is just under the top of the sight glass.
Just keep riding the America and the oil will burn off.
Undo the oil filter and let some oil out clean the filter and engine where the filter fits.
Put that oil filter back onto the engine.
Change the oil and filter it's 1,400 miles until next scheduled oil & filter change.
Suggestions?

150,000 and engine ware

I had the gasket and washers on the engine above the head replaced.
The mechanic Daren from Redline power sports, Winsted, CT
Informed me there was ware evident on the timing chain and some of the rollers.
At fist I was bummed out about that news.
But after all the 2006 America has 150,000(+)
What did I expect a like new engine?
One thing I'm surprised with the front and rear tire bearings have never been replaced.
Hope I didn't jinx myself.

150,000 miles

Well this has to be a big milestone. 2006 America has been very good to me.
A true workhorse.
150,000 miles in 19 and one half years.
I have to yet to hear of someone putting that amount of miles on a motorcycle.
It's kind of unfair as I am retired and ride daily.
Has anybody hit 100,000 miles on a America or old speedmaster?
Your thoughts.

Light bar

I am looking for a Triumph light bar to fit the America I just bought. I bought an aftermarket one that I am making work but it's junk, the lights were even plastic. I have new metal lights but would really like the light bar Triumph used to sell. If anyone has one available in really good shape let me know. If not I will have to make one out of stainless.
