I'm currently using Mobil 1 V-Twin 20/50 but I just bought the Redline V-Twin transmission oil with Shockproof which ironically does not list a weight on the bottle. I do believe its 75/90 though.

I knew I read it somewhere and here it is; i could not find it on the Redline website. I plan on doing my change today from Mobil 1 20/50.

Red Line V-Twin Transmission Oil with Shockproof
V-Twin Transmission Oil with ShockProof; is similar to Red Line's Heavy Shockproof and provides unequalled protection for both stock and aftermarket American V-Twin transmissions. This oil dampens transmission noise (reducing the notorious shifting "clunk" often found in these gearboxes), dramatically reduces temperature, provides thicker oil films between gear teeth and completely resists throw-off. This oil is compatible with petroleum and synthetics. The viscosity characteristics allow the lubricant to resist throw off and provide a film thickness similar to a 75W250 grade, at the same time providing the same low fluid friction as an SAE 75W90.

I buy Redline primary and transmission oils from Cyclegear. They sell the oil too, but I prefer Mobil1 in my crankcase.

Our town has a lot of Harleys and most auto stores carry Mobil-1, Royal Purple, Lucas, Castor, and Valvoline SYN's oils in 20-50.

Seems RedLine is not east to find.

I have use both redline shockproof and amsoil severe gear, Amsoil seems to shift smoother in colder weather. Now all 3 holes amsoil, won't switch to anything else.
