Since I'm an AMSOIL dealer, I know what will be going in my new one at the first opportunity. I run it in my 99 Dodge diesel in every place I can. It's a matter of preference what you run. Some like dino and some like synth. There's good to be said for both.

Syn is the way to go on the new bikes, the technology is there and verifiable, syn just works better. There is nothing "wrong" with dino its just a little behind the times technicaly speaking. That being said, I still run dino in the primary, seems to work better, and last change I put dino in the tranny cause I didnt have any severe gear around after I drained it, (thought I did).
Usually I run amsoil 20x50 in the crank Severe Gear 75W-140 in the tranny and either HD or drag specialties or Bikers choice primary. I find syn in the primary runs like crap in mine, I sell Amsoil but I wont recomend anything I dont or wont use myself.
I use amsoil AF that replaced the K & N 0800 and I have used the amsoil oil filter. Im real fond of K & N oil filters cause they have the screw on fitment, and the HD filters down to the finest micron of any HD campatable filter. I run 3000 miles on the amsoil swap the filter from K & N to either HD or Amsoil and run anouther 3 to 5 grand and the oil still looks good when it drains out. I havent done an oil annalysis yet I plan on doing one right before the next change at 7 or 8 grand, for a bassis to see at what miliage I really need to change. I have a friend who runs 10 grand and changes filter at 5 dont want to try that till I get the analysis, dont think I really wanna go more than 8 anyway regardless. While the oil looked good at the last change I could tell the diference after.
I ran HD shockproof in the tranny for 12 grand and didnt like the way it looked at change, I was more impressed with the severe gear as far as perfomance, as good or better, and it looked a lot better on change.
