Switched oil and wow
So I bought Amsoil from my dealer instead of the HD syn. The valvetrain is 100% quieter. I'm sold. I've complained about the noise since I got it. I put it in every hole except gas of course
. I'm leaving for Oklahoma Wed morning from Nashville. Wanted to get everything serviced. About 800 miles each way. SHould be a good ride.

AMsoil in the primary is night an day diff

I've been sold for a while...using Amsoil filters, Severe Gear in the tranny and 20/50 in the other two holes. It definitely quiets things down and in "my mind" I do think it runs a little cooler. I've used it in my last three bikes without any oil related issues and I will probably stick with it since I have no good reason to change (other than price) .

RE: Switched oil and wow
I did the AMSOil swap a couple of weekends ago when I hit the 1000 mile mark on my new engine build. I put the synth moto oil in the engine and the sever gear in my tranny. This definitely quited down the valve chatter on my high-lift cams, and really made an improvement in the tranny. I'm planning to keep HD dino juice in my primary with SE clutch kit. I would have to say that I am quite pleased with the swap.
