Congrats Sgt. Jim, sounds good. Can't wait to hear the test ride report. Should have a ton more torque.

Sgt. Jim, glad to see that your bike is back together. Do you plan to dyno it soon after the test rides? It really doesn't matter now, does it? It probably has a lot more horse and torque than you ever need Well, when it is time for me to take a shot at the cam change, I definitely know who I'm going after for advice (and who to hide that from_my wife).

5000 miles service coming up soon. What does everyone use? I was thinking Amsoil but not sure which for which section. 20/50 all three? Has anyone used Amsoil and is it better then the syn3 at Harley?

I use Amsoil MC 20-50 in engine and primary and Red Line 58204 Heavy ShockProof Gear Oil in trans. The red line seems to quite up the trans and gives me smoother shifting. I also use the K&N KN-171B Harley Davidson High Performance Oil Filters.

I'm still using HD Syn3 in the engine, primary oil in the primary, and LucasOil 85W130 gear oil in the tranny.. $9/bottle, feels like it made the tranny shift a lot smoother

So with using the 20/50 Amsoil are you only changing your oil once a year as recommended by them? They say it's a 25000 mile oil? I am skeptical of that a little. I have never changed the oil myself and want to make sure that it is good oil I put in my baby.

They're crazy is they think you can get 25,000 miles from an oil change.. what is it blended with? Unicorn ****? I do my maintenance according to the owners manual, so 1k, 5k, 10k, etc..

lol Jim love the way you don't hold back on your thoughts. that is what I thought too. I feel more relaxed knowing that I followed the specs from the manual. I would assume that most HD riders change their on oil. I mean **** the price of their oil service is like WTF! It is not difficult to do nor does it take a real long time. But they charge A-lot! so yeah do it myself.
