I answered you on the dyna thread too on the oil. Valvoline VR1 non synthetic 20-50 or 50. Valvoline 4stroke 10-40 primary and redline shockproof for trans. You'll get lots of different opinions on oil but all will say no synthetic.

I really don't think it makes a great deal of difference when you're changing oil every 3000 miles.

I run Mobil SHC630 in the transmission, Mobil 1 ATF in the primary and Harley non-synthetic in the motors. I do have full synthetic Mobil 1 20W50 VTwin in the chopper, but it came with full synthetic in it.
I'm pretty sure the Mobil SCH630 is available in the UK. It was used in Lotus gear boxes slightly modified as SHC630M.

I use and recommend the K&P Filter
Along with Valvoline Racing Non Synthetic 20-50 motor oil
Edited to add: If your interested in the K&P I got mine for about 130.00 on sale, so shop around online for best deal.

Syn 3 made my Evo sound like a thrashing machine and caused the base gaskets to seep. I immediately went back to good ole HD 20w-50 Non-synthetic. I use HD Formula + in the primary and transmission.

there's an oil an related products sight where they cut filters open an make recommendations on them based on the results an the stock HD filters are a quality filter. Not the best but not the bad either. I stopped using K&N when they moved production to cheap overseas labor. Don't know if quality went down or not I just don't like companies doing that.
