Look at the bright side. Now you can check the health of your colon just by glancing over your shoulder with a mirror behind you.

I thought dealer was there to help out loyal harley owners.
If I don't buy from dealer...why do they have all that stuff in their store?
Probably won't buy it there next time...
Thanks for abuse

Why not the dealer, picked up some Amsoil 20/50 syn from a local dealer the other day for $2 less a quart than Napa.

I've bought stuff at a dealership but never oil. Lesson learned...I hope.

I tried F+ in my Road King's primary once but I thought it was too sticky when cold. Now I run Valvoline 10w40 Motorcycle Oil in the primary and it works well.
