I noticed this after I routed the over flow from the oil tank to the back of the engine. The bike has been parked for about 15 years, I rebuilt the top end, didn't look at the clutches. I am using 10-40 honda oil, the oil tank is a 6 sided chrome chopper tank, holds about 1.5 quarts. whats going on in there? how should I fix It?

You should have a little bit of slack in your handle with the clutch let all the way out.... There is also an adjustment under the cover by your kicker to adjust the clutches.. Do you have a book..??? And if I don't belong...Who would have guessed it

If it still slips after you've done that then it's time for a new clutch pack (friction plates & new springs).

Take a wrench and a screwdriver... Loosen the nut while holding the center with a screwdriver. Then back the screw out a turn or two to free it. Then slowly tighten the screw until you feel it hit the clutch pack. Then back it off one quarter of a turn... Then hold the screw driver on the screw while you tighten the nut.................... I believe that's how it goes. Been awhile since I've had to do it. Correct me if I'm wrong guys... But I'm thinking that is it.... Adjust with cable from there. nnnnnnnnnnnnnn if you put slick stuff it in. It's gotta be cleaned out and proper oil put in.... Hopefully it's just the nut.

If you're starting to look wrinkled, don't worry. It covers the scars.
