Default Motul Oil For Big Twin Motors

Hey guys, I've got a good deal on Motul oil through a friend so I'm wondering what are some expert thoughts on this brand of lubricants. I have seen another tread that said Motul Oil is high quality premium stuff.

One of my biggest questions is, does Motul have something for our HD Big Twin Primary and Transmission Oils? Take a look at the photo I post. That's what I see on Drag's catalog. But it has the 7100 Synthetic Ester Motor Oil 20W50
Twin Syn 20W50 Motor Oil
and it suggests the Gear 300 Gearbox Oil for Big Twin separate gearboxes. (Is this suggesting it can be used for both Trans and Primary?

I've got a 90s FXRS Evo Motor

Motul makes very good lubricants... use gear oil in the tranny, 75w90 full syn and primary fluid like Formula + or any good brand ordinary fluid.

Motul is really getting more popular here but mainly aimed at Metric bikes...

If it's as easy and cheap as you say, go for it. I use to be an Amsoil dealer/user, but now I buy whatever brand name "Motorcycle specific" syn oil that's on sale. Nothing wrong with any of them.
