The best way is to wait during all night, then in the morning you can check the oil level. This is convenient because all the oil is now in the oil pan, or let the engine rest at list an hour or more.

Dude, I would check the oil level on your car If it is proper within the specifications on the dipstick I will suggest that you check your oil pump or take your car to get it service by a professional because your crankshaft bearings can be bad and it is loosing pressure or your camshaft sensor can be bad -or get the oil changed, of you have a valve cover leak you can lose oil that way which will lower your oil level and cause the light to come on.
Harley Davidson Dealerships are a great place to look. You can also check on ebay, ubid or a swap, but be cautious when buying online, always check a dealers reputation and use a safe and secure way of paying for it.
if you want a proper and accurate reading you need to check the oil with the end off and cold. the best time to check is in the morning before you go anywhere that way it has sat overnight and cooled off and settled back into the pan. if it's hot (recently run) not all the oil will be in the pan which can cause you to get a low reading when really it's at an ok level :-)
The proper way to check shirts for holes is to lay it out flat by a light. The light could be the sun, a lamp, or even a flashlight. Then you inspect the shirt using the light.

While someone else holds the bike up straight, you look through the sight glass on the lower right side of the engine. You should be able to see the oil level there.
Change engine oil, or check oil indicator?
