I just changed my trans oil in my 2006 Deluxe to Redline ShockProof and WOW what a difference. I never expect to notice a difference when changing a fluid but did almost immediately. Shifting was so much smoother and easily finding neutral, on the first try, everytime was surpising.
At the same time I switched to Redline Primary Chain Case Oil and seems to be working out just fine also. They were both part of the Red Line Big Twin Powerpack I got off Amazon. Engine oil, Trans oil, Primary oil and Fuel Injection Cleaner.

Kenny, Sorry if it came off as an add for them, I had never used their products in my bikes before, was very encouraged by the results and was just "Calling it as I see it"

oh yeah and +1 for doing own oil changes!

Just to keep things confusing, I generally use Syn 3--shifts fine, no problems with neutral. I did use some Revtech in the previous change and I didn't really care for it. It seemed a little clunky and noisy. It all might of been in my head as I was having second thoughts using it by the time I put the derby cover on. Was in a hurry and that was all that was available close by. Lots of good stuff out there and everyone has their favorite. There will be no concensus here. I don't know that there is anything especially bad to stay away from.

For the primary, I've tried at least four different top-shelf fluids. The most expensive wasn't always the best. I've haven't found anything that works better for me than Shell Rotella T 15w-40, $13 per gallon at Walmart. It has no friction modifiers, is JASO-MA certified, and is safe for use with wet clutches.
