Friday performed my 30,000mi maintenance switching out the transmission fluid to the Spectro 75W-145 6-Speed Platnium Synthetic gear oil. Kind of like the color (purple) since it was easy to see on dip stick when checking. I will admit bike now does shift a tad smoother. Long term opinon is now in the works.

I've tried a lot of brands in the trans over the years, this is the one for me,
good luck with it.

My 08 FLHR Road King 6-speed transmission started with factory dino, then Syn3 @ 5,000 mile servicing. At 10,000mi I switched to Mobil 1 Synthetic 75W-90 gear oil. It made shifting quietier and finding neutral a snap. So I guess it's working well, and it gets changed every 10,000mi.
I wish I had the money to throw away a lot of you seem to have! Oh, and for those that say it is cheap insurance, I have 138,000 on my bike with no oil related tranny problems. I run Mobil1 75-90, Syn 3, or whatever cheap fluid I can find.
