Default Redline Heavy Shockproof?

I'm looking to change the fluids on my 99 Fat boy for the first time. I've decided to put Mobil V twin 20w50 in the engine.

For gear oil, does anyone run the Redline gear oil? Do Evos respond well to this gear oil? The P.O. currently has Bel Ray 85w140 in it. Should I just stick with that?

Thank you

I have used it for along time ,I like the fact that it is a different color making it easy to tell if the trans , primary or engine oil develops a leak .. .I have not noticed any performance difference other than on my 2008 Streetglide on that bike it made a big difference in finding neutral compared to the factory oil.

ATF is referring to Royal Purple oil?

No ATF stands for Automatic Transmission Fluid.
