I have installed a Horseshoe breather kit on my 03 883r in order to deal with the oil blow by phenomenon. I just noticed that the oil mist coming of the rubber hose is milky. I've been reading that this may be normal now that the weather is cooler. I also just change the oil and all looked good. Please confirm this is normal.

I have seen it before. I think it is moisture in the air. Go for good ride, and heat it off. This is why starting a bike in the winter to hear it, is bad.
It will happen. No big deal. Has nothing to do with the weather getting cooler. It has to do with the moisture content in the air upon shutdown. It will evaporate off faster when it's warmer out, slower when its cooler. Moisture content is what it is. Happens to me in the summer here in SoCal.
Its normal...condensation build up from "short trips". The engine/oil does not get hot enough to boil off the moisture. It takes a long time for a Sportster to get that warm.
I went to a "ForceWinder" intake to be rid of the "mist".
