Default Redline product question

Thinking about going with Redline in the tranny and wanted to know if the Heavy Shockproof is spec or go with the the Lightweight Shockproof?

It's for the 03 RG.

thanks

I use the heavy. Used it in my previous ‘03, ‘05, and now in my ‘09.

If you check out the Redline website, I think you'll find they state specifically that their V-Twin transmission oil is in fact the heavy duty shockproof relabeled.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I was pretty sure the Heavy was the one but wanted confirmation before doing it.

The bike is new to me and fairly sure it has Formula+ in it currently. No issues per se, other than wanting to see if I notice less clunking when shifting. Maybe I will, maybe not...

The bike has <21K miles on it.

Shockproof has improved but not eliminated the clunk for many, including myself. Formula + continues to be a very solid performer in primaries it seems.
