I agree there

Have a cup of coffee and watch as you drain the filter completely with no mess on the bike after you are done.
Neat trick! But I find a beer helps the oil flow better than the coffee

A couple friends of mine are running Mobil Delvac oil in their bikes...Suppose
to be a heavier oil that produces a quieter engine and transmission. I am
coming up on my first oil change in my new Road Glide and I am giving it
some serious consideration....Whattaya think???

Getting ready to do an order from Zanotti's myself. Don't have the part number for the Oil and Tranny O-Rings, but would like to oder a few. Do you have the part numbers?

I believe it is 11105 which is for both tranny and oil (at least on mine)

Couldn't find it at Dennis Kirk's site. Do you know what it's called (didn't show up under funnel, or oil), or the part number?

Delvac? What was the oil designed for? Mobil 1 V-Twin is one of the best oils you could buy for a motorcycle and it is designed for it. Why would you run something heavier if it is not absolutely necessary. My father in law always ran a too heavy oil in his pick up and it always blew gaskets and leaked oil. Heavier oil does not flow as well at start up and that is when a lot of engine wear occurs. Too each his own but i would not run an oil just because the engine runs quieter, there are a lot of other things to consider.
