Default Redline back to Harley, do I need to flush?

I had a friend recommend Redline, so last change I had the Harley dealer change all oils to Redline. I can't find the tranny oil, so I'm going back to Harley Formula +. The Redline is pink stuff...never seen that before. Do I need to flush the tranny, and if so, what do I use? I've started to do the oil changes at home and save a couple hundred bucks. Thanks for your help!

Well, I didn't flush my gear box when switching to Redline. Just a mention....you'll find it easier to see the red on the dipstick.

You don't need to flush.
But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Redline, it's a great product.
My HD dealer even sells it on the shelf. It's hard for me to believe you can't find it.

I found that www.summitracing.com seems to have the best pricing with free shipping, but they do charge a "handling fee" of about $10.
It doesn't matter how much you spend on a single order, the fee is still $10.
So I wait until I need a couple of hundred dollars worth of stuff and place one big order.
You'll have the stuff delivered to your door in less than a week. They have all the Redline V-Twin products in stock.

And yes, do the fluid changes yourself!
You can change all three holes yourself in less than an hour and save a lot of money.
