Trans Oil
I have been very happy with Spectro Synthetic 75W140 in the trans. It really keeps the shifting noise down by keeping the clunks at bay. If your clutch is adjusted properly, the only clunk is into 1st gear.
According to Redline's website there's a place that has it in Crossville too, which is halfway between here and Knoxville, they don't carry it anymore. Redlines site says that Advance AND Autozone carry it but I called the Advance and Autozone's here and they say they recently stopped carrying them... IT'S A CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU!!!

In the midst of doing my 1k, already got the oil for the engine(Mobil 1 syn) but I am still looking for a good trans and primary fluid that isn't crap. I want Redline or Amsoil but would rather not have to order it as nobody locally carries either. Are there any others out there that are worth a flip? Thanks. 
Yeah, it just sucks cause I would rather find it and go pick it up, guess I'm being spoiled! But NOBODY carries either of those marvelous lubs around here, *sigh* just have ta suck it up and order some, dern it...

Do your own due diligence. Make up your own mind based on what is available locally. Why let someone else choose your lubricants for you?

Edit to add that there are plenty of oil threads/discussions already started and ongoing in appropriate forum categories. Don't you think? Plenty of experience and data are already posted and readily available to anyone w/ enough gumption to search for it. And there are other riders who do the same thing you're doing: waiting til the last minute, when a fluid change is already due, to figure out what oil they want to use and what is available and where they're going to buy it... But does it require a personal thread for every individual rider?
