Seriously, couldn't they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???
A lot of bad can be said about Harleys but I love that my 48 just has a little rubber hose with a plug in it to drain the oil.
It just works.

How about instead of playing a victim, stick a piece of tin foil over the pipe?
I had an '85 Dodge Omni GLH (turbo) where that had the oil drain plug directly over a cross member. I don't know if that was standard in the Omni or added for the GLH but when you drained the oil it just went everywhere. My oil drain pan wasn't big enough to catch it all. I stopped doing my own oil changes on that car.
Wow that sounds like a real fun time.
My Funduro does the same thing, but right at the header so if you get any oil at all on the pipe you get a nice cloud of smoke upon firing the bike up.
I still prefer dealing with that though over how my WR400 makes you take the header section off in order to change the oil filter. That gets more annoying - particularly as that's something one has to do pretty regularly on that bike.
Makes me appreciate how easy oil changes were on my Ninja
