some do, some don't. HD recommends this, and I did for over 100K with no issues. Now I have a Baker 6 speed and am using redline shockproof. Don't see a difference.

I've always had good luck with Amsoil in my Buells, but never changed more than engine and primary on it.

Yes. 19,000 miles on my 2011 limited and have always used the Harley syn-3 in all 3.
