Default 5000 Mile Service Question

I know this has been discussed a bunch on here and I have done some research as well, but what weight of oil are you guys running. I plan to use Mobil 1 V-Twin, Amsoil, or Redline. Probably in that order as well since I beleive that the Mobil 1 will be easier to find. Also what weights are you running in the Primary as well as the Tranny, I know that these do not need to be changed at 5000 miles but will need the info later on. Thanks for the help and I dont want to start a fight among you guys here so keep it nice.

Ran Redline in all 3 boxes at the last change and I couldn't be happier with their products. I'm even seeing HD dealers carry them on their racks now.

You might wanna pick up a CORS while yer at it, IMO it's worth every penny of the $20.

Explain this CORS thing to me. I dont quite get how it removes the old oil and leaves the new? Also is it reusable? I gather that it takes the place of the oil filter while it cleans the oil for a couple of mins and then you remove the CORS and replace it with the filter

Redline Shockproof 75w90 in Trans
Redline 20w50 in Engine and Primary.
Been happy so far but oil changes get expensive at 10 bones a quart.
