yeah, whatever 20w50 is on sale...

The most unimportant decision you make concerning your motorcycle is what brand/type 20w50 motor oil to put in it.

+1 Winner! Please stop flushing money down the drain.

The V-twin 20w-50 might be more shear stable in a shared-sump configuration than the 15w-50, but Harleys are not set up this way.

If you want to get a real oil education and waste a bunch of time I recommend: bobistheoilguy.com (this is not a joke). At least the people there have science to back up their opinions.

+1 Another winner! Probably the most succinct.
