RE: Trans oil?
I tried the Shockproof in mine switching over from dino gear oil. Shifted much better and was quieter, \\;then the leak developed a couple hundred miles later. As it turns out, the pulley spacer was corroded and tore up the mainshaft seal. Coincidence? probably as I had been warned that switching over from dino to synthetics can cause leaks.

I resealed the entire trasmission and installed a new upgraded BDL pulley kit. Went with Mobil 1 75/140 and just love it. Many trouble free miles \\;and it's available at Autozone. Redline makes a quality product, I use MTL in the primary and 20/50 in the \\;engine. I may try the new motorcycle specific trans oil next time around.

RE: Trans oil?
I ran Redline in my 2 of my EVOs for 8 years. \\; Bulletproof. \\; Now running it in my Road King with 63,000 miles on it. \\; Never a blink. \\; It's the best stuff on the market. \\; And the free drinks are great! \\; Can't tell you how many free drinks I've won on bets telling guys I run Beptol Pismol in my tranny. \\; I pull the stick, show em, collect on the drink, and then set the record straight. \\; Lots of laughs. \\; But seriously, great product. \\; CCRyder

Redline V-twin tranny oil here. \\; Use it in both of my bikes - 1 shovel, 1 EVO. \\; Works great in both. \\; Love it!
