I haven't used the Lucas oil, but have used the Mobil 1 and Redline Shockproof Heavy in my bike. I currently have the Redline in it and will continue to use Redline. A friend of mine is a Harley Master Mechanic and recommends the Redline Shockproof, so I'll stay with that.

Can't go wrong with either one. I prefer Spectro 6-speed, formulated for Harleys and recommended by Baker!

Beating the dead horse is appropriate for someone who has been around awhile.
Sometimes newer members have new ideas and they come out by reposting some of the old questions. Some folks seem to know all the answers and are satisfied with that. I use Redline and will continue. I think its better than the HD product. Works for me.

Both work well. I currently use Redline, but Lucas is top quality also. You can't go wrong with either one. SJ Ron
