Generally speaking, yes.

But many will suggest there are some better choices with respect to oils for the tranny and primary.

I am going to switch to Mobile 1 V twin in the crankcase but I think the Mobile 1 75-90 gear lube would be a better choice for the tranny and primary.

Thats what I've been lead to believe. I currently use M1 V Twin 20-50 in the crankcase with great success.

Try the 20w50 in engine, 10w40 in the primary and 75w90 or 75w140 in the trans. BTW, the gear oil in the trans can go 20,000 miles.
