I used HD Formula1 for years... then it got expensive and at about the same time, the parts guy at my nearest dealership turned into an ***....

So for several years now I've been using BelRay V-Twin Primary chaincase lubricant or BelRay Gear Saver Transmission oil, 80wt..... whichever I can find cheaper..

I confirmed with BelRay that they are both the same product, just different packaging...

I have three bikes, so I usually buy several liters at a time when I find it at a good price...

I. normally buy oils for 3 or 4 changes and keep them on the garage shelf, so hadn't bought any Formula+ for a couple of years, but I seem to remember it was $8 or $9 the last time I bought any.

Somehow, I think I will be seeking out alternatives for the primary!!!

Hmmm....thats not good. I just bought some this summer at dealer, maybe will call tomorrow to see what the price is and pick up a case. Was $8ish a quart here, a $5 increase is over a 50% increase in cost. Seems extreme.
