Default Bel-Ray oil line

Just ordered their motor, primary and tranny offerings online for my next oil change. Any experience here? I read some reviews here on the tranny oil, but not much on the others.

Cheers

Used their oil in my last bike. I started off using amsoil but didn't like how noisy the engine was so I swapped to Bel Ray and was very happy. Used the engine and tranny oil only, used HD for the primary.

I use Syn-3 in the engine still and have since the first service. at 62k on the Street Glide now. At 20k I switched to Bel-Ray primary and trans fluids. Shifts smoother and goes into neutral easier. zero complaints, so when it was time for the 1k service on the wide glide I started using the same. Very happy with it. I can notice the difference when they have filled the primary with syn-3 after warranty work.

Bel-Ray in the trans only for me and it seems fine. Sometimes hard to find so I have Red Line that I'll use in the next trans change. For me, HD Formula + has been the best solution for the primary so I'm staying with that in there.

I use the tranny oil and I'm happy with it. The shifts are smoother and quieter.

Appreciate the replies thus far. Going to give this stuff a go. Many have mentioned about their tranny oil. But I figured I'd give them all a try.

The dino trans fluid is the best I've tried, & I've tried a lot.

Have Bel-Ray in both primary and trans. Only oil dealer sells other than HD brand. Trans noise is quieter, shifting is smoother and it's definitely easier to find neutral. The oil appears to be thicker than HD primary and trans oil. Only minor gripe is the bike likes to lunge a little forward (clutch friction) when starting up cold. But this only lasts for a second or two.

I used Bel Ray in the tranny when my dealer was doing my prepaid maintenance and it definitely does quiet down the shifting. I was using Syn3 in the other holes and betray in the tranny. I plan to go back to Bel Ray at my 20k service.
