Default RE: reg oil or syn oil?

I am a dealer for Amsoil, and I'll shoot straight with Ya...My bike has seen hotter temps on the oil guage since switching to Amsoil from Harley Syn 3. I'm sure Amsoil is good oil, but after selling to a friend with an 07 Heritage, his bike ran the same temp as it did with plain old Harley Dino oil. (at 5000 miles). I will soon let my dealer dues expire, not because I'm unhappy with Amsoil, but because it just hasn't done what they said it would. I can sell You Amsoil, but I can't lie to You about my experiences with it.
