I can't remember now, but my bike was either overfilled at the dealership or I did it when I changed the oil.
I took the horns by the bull and loosened the drain plug until it started to drip oil and when the level came down to just below the upper mark I tightened the plug.
It took quite a while for the oil to drain down, but it worked and I now keep an eye on the oil level.
As a matter of fact, when I took delivery of my Bonneville in 2006 it was also overfilled and I used the same method to lower the oil level.
