If it only happens at start up then it's valve stem seals. But I have never seen them so bad make the plug ends full of oil. How much oil do u use in a 3,000 mile oil change?

Great pics looks like u have a sl2 not a sl1 the. Sl2 is a twin cam looks like what's happening is ur valve cover gasket is leaking down onto ur spark plugs and into ur spark plug holes when u took the plugs out. If u replace ur valve cover gasket u will be ok.
