For that matter, I don't see H-D non-synthetic oil listed there, either.

I doubt it, it's what they recommend in their own primaries. I know I like it.

yeah, formula + is fine for the primary, and $7 qt is in line with a lot of what people are paying for primary fluid. i use shell rotella t, which runs about $13 for 4 qts. i get 3+ changes out of it for less than the cost of 1 change of formula +

If Harley just sells overpriced crap why would anyone ever buy, let alone ride, one of their bikes?
