Transimission Fluid
I have so much to learn here, but one (or two) quick question(s):
I'm debating on which transmission fluid to use:
1) Mobil1*Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90
2) Mobil1*Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-140
3) Redline heavy shock proof
I live in Wisconsin and that's where the majority of my riding will happen...Midwest mostly.
Additionally, I've settled on Mobil1 synthetic V-Twin 20/50 for the crank and the same for the primary...thoughts????

I would use the least expensive gear oil you can find in the trans. Probably Rotella 85w140 which is about $4 a quart at Walmart. Any GL5 gear oil exceeds the GL1 spec for a HD trans by a mile. If you do run the RL shockproof then leave it in there for 20,000 miles minimum.

i see you're from wisconsin. do you have a fleet farm near you? i just use the fleet farm brand farm tractor gear lube in my trans. no transmissions take abuse like farm tractors do. can't beat their prices too.
