They should specify on the labels and put it in one bottle. They are the same price. Thanks

I ran Amsoil 75-140 severe gear in my 07. It was a lot better. My new 2011 limited is quiet as a mouse w/ Hd oil in it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

I used the V-twin with Shockproof, dark bottle, Redline website recommendation. Found it 20 minutes away at Cycle Gear shop.

I have used Amsoil SVG in two different weights and Redline Heavy Shockproof.
The Redline is the quietest (by a smidge) in my 09.
I have heard good things about the Belray , but haven't tried it , will probably stick with the Redline.

redline shockproof heavy, and use the B&M trickshift trans fluid in your primary. it's like night and day, the difference.

I just swapped out the Syn3 from my trans & primary on my 09 RG and used Redline primary fluid and trans fluid w/shockproof. The primary fluid looked like ATF and the trans fluid looked like "pepto bismal"...thick and pink. Have not had a chance to ride since the change.

Mobil 1 V Twin..
It's probably 75% quieter now
