You'll be fine with the oils you're using.. Just change it out by 100 miles..
And for your climate in Jersey I would rather see 20w-50.. No issues with VR1 non synthetic.. I use it in my twin cam as well..

The oil filter will catch any microscopic bits of metal.
If the engine is making so much metal that the oil must be changed before 1,000 miles, it was not built properly.
If the engine is grinding off pieces of metal, like adding sand... it is already junk.
