I just bought my first bike, an 05 Super Glide and did all change in all the fluid because I had no idea when it had been done last. After reading the service manual, talking to the guy at the dealer ship and the auto parts guy this is what I did.
2.5 quarts HD 20w50 and HD Chrome filter
Almost 2 quarts of synthetic (Lucas I think) 20w50 for trans and primary.
Now I happen to talk to my old Harley Uncle and he has told me that puting the synthetic in primary is not good after service tech and parts guys said it was fine. What do you guys think? Should I buy the expensive HD primary stuff and redo it or am I fine? Thanks in advance!
