To a point the lubes are a personal choice. The best combination I have found has been the synthetic oils. 20/50 in the engine & primary. 75/140 in the trans.
I use the Amsoil for all of these. But it is pretty much up to you as to the brand. Do your homework on all the different brands, but make sure they meet the Harley specs.
The Amsoil surpasses all the specs. But other brands do also. Redline oils is another brand that is at the top also.

Ride Safe !
Ride often!

Personally, I like Royal Purple in the engine, Harley's primary oil and Redline Shokpruf in the transmission...The primary I wont run synthetic in, the clutch on my Nighttrain slipped when I put Syn3 in it...

Redline 20/60 in the engine, Belray 75-140 gear saver in the trans and HD primary+ in the primary. My HD service manager turned me onto the Belray. At every 1K service they change out the trans oil in every new bike they sell. Told me it will not attack some of the parts inside the six speed. So far, so good.
