Default Redline Heavy Shockproof versus?

Have 2006 Road King Classic with 13,500 miles, 5 speed tranny. Live in Minnesota where spring and fall riding tempseasily in 50s.
Thinking of switching to Redline Heavy Shockproof butworried about weight. Says 75W250 but acts as 75W90. They now have a new product, V-Twin Transmission Oil with Shockproof. What gives, it lists the same viscosity as the Heavy?Any advice?

Basicly, SPH and the 'new' trans oil are the same thing (according to tech at Red Line). Just go ahead and use it. You'll be fine.

Agree, they are the same or so close it doesn't matter. Don't worry about the weight rating. It runs fine in the cold.
