H-D Dino in the motor, Formula+ in the primary and Redline tranny oil in the tranny is the best combo (IMO) that I've come up with so far.

used syn3, mobil 1, on my SG and the last time I got the 5k service on my RGS, I think they used royal purple (iron pony in Columbus, was out and about and needed it serviced and they did it while I waited. Walked across the street and had breakfast.. came back and it was done). I've never noticed a big diff between all 3, I just stay synthetic and ride. FWIW, autozone/advance gives mil discount (easy to pickup mobil 1) and the harley dealership 25 miles away does a mil discount as well, but the one in town doesn't.. so sometimes its just easier to get mobil 1 if I do it myself.)

Cheers

I run Mobile 1 synthetic gear lube in the trans and Rotella T Dino 15w40 in the primary. The motor does not clatter/tick. The neutral clunk is 90% gone and the trans smoothly drops into gear on up and down shift. This is what works for me, I have tried many.

Plus Quicksilver is almost half the price of Amsoil or Harley Syn 3...

Just picked up a Low Rider S with the 110 engine. Manual says it's got syn3 in tranny and engine with formula+ in the primary. But what really perplexes me is that this bike has no oil cooler from the factory, but my 2014 Ultra Classic does....WTF?
