I ended up picking up:
Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50
Redline Transmission with Shockproof
HD Formula +
Also grabbed some new spark plugs from the local HD dealer. They sold me the SE ones. Are they good to go?

If you're talking about the plugs, yes they are good to go; pregapped. But, look at the gap anyway to make sure it isn't closed from dropping or something..
I put the new HD 80W-140 synthetic in both transmission and primary at the last change. It shifts smoother and is very easy to find neutral compared to formula +.
The SE spark plugs come pre gapped at 35 but the manual calls for something different. Do I leave them at 35 or gap them according to the service manual?
Im confused how your new to HD of recent, but have over 500 posts. And start an oil thread?
Not common statistics is it?
Bike has pretty much sat in the garage for the last few years not get ridden. I was really busy with work and family and now have the time to get back to riding. Wasn’t sure if there were some new fluids out that were better to use since the last time I looked into all this.
Don’t forget you’ll need 3 o rings for the drain plugs, and a derby cover gasket. Don’t reuse the existing ones.
Thanks, I made sure to grab them while I was at the HD dealer. My original ones looked pretty bad when I removed them. The bike shifts much better now after the fluid change. Thanks for all the help fellas.
