Can't vote, I am using Amsoil 20-50w motorcycle synthetic oil - same as in the engine. I see your v-twin specific synthetic selection, but I do not think teh amsoil is V-twin specific. You may want to add this as an option since several are using it from reading these forums.

Mobil 1 75w90 Gear Oil

- If you wouldn't put gear oil in your engine, why would you put engine oil in your gear box?

- No HD / Citgo oils for me. They're reserved for people that just don't know any better. [:@]

I have used Sporttrans fluid since I bought my bike. I would like to switch to synthetic. Clutch slippage and not knowing what weight/s I need are my misgivings.
Any help is appreciated.

There is no reason for any misgivings. The mobil 1 75w-90 works great.
