In another thread a guy posted the best deal was Eastern Performance, ask for Pat at ext 202 and tell them Rick referred you. They sell a "kit" that is for your bike.

My wife is an Amazon Prime member. I bought it where I buy everything, online. I ordered enough fluids and filters to get me through the 5 and 10K miles services as well. It's not as easy to come by as the on the shelf stuff, but it's worth the extra effort.

I don't think I'll ever change.

I just changed to the redline. Mainly because of this thread. Got it at Cycle Gear $16.
The clunk has never been excessive but the compensator rattle is annoying sometimes.

NEUTRAL!?! LOL my bike doesn't have neutral!! ... I think I'll switch next change too. Neutral would be handy.

My dealer carries it as well. The elusive neutral was captured and tamed on the first application. I'll stick with it

Thanks to the tips here I used the dealer locator and found a Cycle Gear on my way home, picked up 2 quarts at $16 per. Harley dealer or my Indy shop didn't carry it. Counter guy said the R/L is 70W80 Synthetic, he said that's the only viscosity they have for Primary oil so I'm assuming that's the right one. Hope it will quiet the beast down a bit. Thanks to all...

I tried it yesterday and it slipped right into first with no clunk. Did you buy the RL Primary Case Oil as shown above or something other.
