Both are good and do the same thing.

Redline makes a synthetic v-twin primary gear oil. You can also buy, like I do, the Powerpaack in either 20-50 or 20-60 weight oils. They do make a good product.

I don't think there is a BEST.... just pick a GOOOD top shelf motorcycle syn 20-50 oil or use the HD's Formula+ and I don't think you can go wrong.

I've stuck with Mobil 1 V twin 20-50 in all three holes for the last 35 K miles... narry a problem with the Pri, tranny or engine and now I am at 53k miles.. I like Mobil 1 because it is one of the better oils, IMO. and it's very easy to find and it's also on sale almost every spring...
