niczumbo said it best. I used to use Mobile 1 in my truck and switched to Royal Purple. I use Amsoil in my bike. Any synthetic w/ a good name, just don't mix without flushing.

I'm perfectly happy with Harley's Syn3. I can fill all 3 holes in one shot, no problem. And when my dealer has their 25% off sale, it's a great price too.

Royal Purple is junk. Do a google search on scar tests and you will find out that RP barely beats out dino oil, and I mean barely. I've used mobil 1 and Amsoil, prefer Amsoil. I had a compression test done on a Road King that I had about 50K miles on it. After break-in, I only used Mobil 1 or Amsoil, the compression was almost like new.
