Default Follow up to my previous tread on Red Line

This week I converted over from Syn 3 to Red Line in all 3 holes. My independent dealer recommended it as well as several members on this forum. I now have about 300 miles with Red Line. Almost immediately I noticed easier shifting and finding neutral. Also I think the engine noise is reduced. I am a believer. Thanks to those who helped convince me.

Same response from me. I switched about a month ago. Did a 1600 mile trip last week. Tranny is better, less engine noise and oil temps seemed to be more stable. Especially at interstate speeds.

I'm sold!

I switched from amsoil to redline and seen the shifting difference. It's all I'll use anymore.

Redline is da bomb............I got the same relief in the transmission as you did , much easier to find neutral. For those that aren't sure do your own research. Google.

Can't tell you what the OP used but a lot of people just go for the Big Twin 20W50 PowerPack

Quoted for the Red Line web site

Complete kit for motorcycles equipped with Evolution and Twin-Cam engines
Includes 5 quarts of 20W50 Motorcycle Oil, 1 quart of V-Twin Transmission Oil with ShockProof, 1 quart of Primary Chain Case Oil, 1 bottle of Fuel Injection Cleaner for Motorcycles, a sticker kit, a Red Line Oil embroidered hat, and a versatile funnel
For 2007-up H-DŽ motorcycle with the 96-inch engine, users must purchase one extra bottle of Primary Chain Case Oil, since that bike's capacity is 38 oz (45 oz dry), rather than the 32 oz capacity for an Evo or Big Twin case

There are other online vendors that are cheaper if you can not find it locally.

I use Racer Parts Wholesale
http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/c...il_Powerpacks2

But they are local to me so I just pick it up and avoid shipping.
