You can go to their site for a dealer locate. It's normally stocked at Autozone.

I loves me some Redline Shockproof Heavy. And if you should develop a leak, it is VERY easy to tell whether it's from the tranny or the crank case!

I'm getting ready to do the tranny and need some input on redline for that. First off, what is the grade of oil, is it heavy 75w-90 gear oil? Is it worth the extra expense? I know there are numerous threads on thi subject, just looking for a few opinions.
The dealer put Redline Shockproof Heavy in the tranny on my bike at the 1000 Mile service a while back and it seems to work fine. I don't really notice much difference when it's hot as it still clunks, maybe not quite as much as before when shifting but it is quieter when it's cold.

Put RedLine ShockProof Gear Oil in the tranny at 8K... after the first 500 miles, wished I had made the switch at the first 1000 miles... shifts smoother, shifts quieter, runs quieter, finds nuetral easier... as for grade according to the write up its acts like SAE 250 !One of the highest regarded Harley mechanics in my state recommended it and that was enough for me to try it... won't ever put anything else in .. thinking now about shifting to Mobil V-Twin or maybe even trying out Redline's 20/50 Syn...

I use Redline Shock Proof Heavy and it seems to have worked just fine for the 4000 miles.

I must be half asleep, I just realized that I already posted once in this thread of course it was almost a year ago. LOL

Since I am here right now, shifts like butta...
So easy to find neutral it makes me laugh...
Was sharing this with another new owner earlier today. Swoon, take note...
