Default Mobile One VTwin, RedLine VTwin Transmission oil, and ? for primary?

Recently I decided to go with Mobile One Synthetic 20W-50
VTwin oil and although I haven't used it yet I have a qt of
RedLine VTwin Transmission oil waiting, and I will change
that soon...

And now I'm wondering what primary lubricant I should use?
I have some HD Formula + Transmission and Primary
Chaincase oil on hand. I'm thinking there's probably a better
fluid for my chaincase and I would appreciated everyone's
input...
Thanks.

No I only use that for the primary. They have Tranny fluid too though.
Quality products.
A few years back, a friend of mine tried to give a go at runnin' a bike shop and after a couple years, couldn't make it and pulled the plug.
I bought everything that I thought that I would eventually use and a case of primary fluid along with a a case of oil.
You can buy it online though, and I think that they have a zipcode finder too somewhere on their site. Been happy with it though.
Regards.

I just ordered the Redline product for primary chain.



oil: Mobile1 V-Twin 20W-50
tranny: Redline V-Twin with Shockproof
primary: Redline V-Twin PrimaryCase oil

May decide next time I change oil just to go with Redline products entirely?

thanks.

I could not find neutral using Mobile1, unless I got neutral in process of stopping - otherwise impossible. Harley service tech told me to try RedLine VTwin Synthetic - I went for a long ride today, use it if you want to find neutral while stopped.
