0-1 k HD
1-5 k Amsoil in all three holes
10k Amsoil Primary and crankcase. Redline in transmission.

My Verdict: Redline in transmission REALLY quieted the gears down and stopped the 1st gear clunk cold. Now when riding, I hear the exhaust, and not the whine of the gearbox. Redline Vtwin transmission fluid is clearly a superior product in terms of noise reduction.

Im breaking in my 1250 big bore kit I put on my 883 and at the 500 miles im putting in Red Line 20/50 Synthetic for the engine & Red Line primary oil in the primary. Ive heard good things about both. All I know for sure is that I don't like HD Syn3. Its to noisey at least it is on my Sportster.

Heavy duty Shock Proof..

Put Redline V-Twin Primary in for the first time last night. We'll see how well it works.

FYI- Screaming Eagle SYN oils are made by Mobil One. NO difference what-so-ever.
I am not doubting your post but most racers use the product that sponsor them. Free oil to put our sticker on your car, bike or boat
