Oil

automotive oil has lots of additives
I use Bel Ray for the trans and no wine or clank and I can find neutral. I use Motor FactoryŽ Primary Case Lube in the primary. because Amsoil has gone up so much I just switched to Mobil 1 for vtwin and it works as good. I have 45,000 miles in about 2 years and it runs great and no debris in the oil changes.

+1 for Xaran and/or Other sheep. I use Redline for tranny and Mobil 1 for primary.
Reason being Mobil 1 easier to get at local auto stores. If I could get RedLine locally, I'd go all the way. Just seems ridiculous to pay added shipping. Bottom line all major oil (amsoil, Royal Purple, etc) are good. I definitely do see a difference using Redline for the tranny. I'll stick with that. Mobil 1'm happy with. Didn;t see any difference from using RedLine or Mobil 1 for primary...
