its a fluid made to be used with wet clutches, like the ones in automatic transmissions and our bikes, it is also used to lube drive chains like in a NP208 transfer case also like a primary drive on a Harley

it works, my clutch is proof

I have no doubt that ATF works. My only question would be whether or not it meets H-D specs. If it doesn't, Magnuson-Moss Act or not, it would be justification for denying warranty coverage if anything ever went wrong in the primary.

I'm not an expert on this, but atf seems awful light. As mentioned earlier it may void warranty. Who suggested to you to use atf? It may work in the short run but down the road? If you weren't having troubles why change? Atf pours like water when it gets hot, hope you don't run into any problems.

I use Mobile One Synthetic ATF, milti-vehicle formula in my primary, same stuff I used in a TH-400 trans running high 8's in the 1/4 mile in a 70 nova. My bike clutch works perfectly, shifting is flawless just as it was in my car.
Do a web search on this subject and you'll find other forums where they are more tech minded.

if atf will hold up in a allison atomatic pulling a 1ton 4 wheel drive pulling 8000 lb camping trailers,i think it will hold up in your 62 h.p. 700 lb harley. p.s. it also go"s in the CHAIN driven transfer case.
