You should take some spelling lessons before you learn how to change your DIAPER'S.

When you consider that CVO bikes all come with Syn3 in all holes before you ride it off the lot, I don't think it will matter too much at the 1k service. Everyone has a different opinion, but you're probalby fine either way. I stayed with dino oil on my 1k, but the shop I went to wanted to wait for the 2500 or 5k. I did it at the 5k mark.

Just checked both the 07 Service and Owner's manuals. Bothcall for Formula+ Tranny and Primary Chaincase Lubricant. Looks like they don't recommend H-D Syn in the crankcase anymore. At least not in the 07's.
