Default Changing fluids

I have seen this before somewhere on the forum, but I can't remember where. I have a '95 wide glide and I want to change to AMSOIL for primary, tranny and motor. I was wondering if anyone that had done this can tell me the different types that you used for each place. I can't remember the names or weights for each. Thanks for all the help and info.

I'm currently running 20w50 Syn3 in the motor and trans and 20w50 Redline in my primary. Going to switch the other two holes before spring with Redline20w50 in the motor and 80w90 in the trans.

Right now i'm running Amsoil 20-50 in all three holes on my 07 WG, but as soon as I can I will be putting 75-90 severe duty gear lube in the tranny, Amsoil is good stuff, I'm very happy with it

Hope I'm not beating the dead horse here.....I see some guys using the same oil all three, but I understand that an engine grade oil should not be used in the primary as it causes issues with the cluch basket? I know I don't use it in my dirt bike and some guys do seemingly without problems, but have read against it in the books. I guess the idea is some of the additives cause glazing, warping etc while oil designed for clutches help them hook up....Any input?
