I'm Cheap, I use HD regular oil. I figure why start using Synthetic stuff? If I do I probably will have to use synthetic oils all of her life. I also use regular fuel on her, none of the fancy fuels unless if I think I'm riding thru mountains when I know I'll need the extra boost of power. Yes I'm cheap but as long as the bike rides good I don't care.
