Nu-gold in all 3 holes but I only fill the engine to where oil registers just above the add mark when hot.

Are you trying to find an oil tank cap with a built in analog gauge? If so, no dice for the FXSB. I looked for one a year or so ago. Sucks.

I don't like it, but I went for the digital gauge H-D sells. Mine works fine....so far.

Used Mobil 1 vtwin and redline, going to order some scheaffers or liquid moly just for the Hell of it. I change it every 3000 miles so any decent oil will do.

LOL ... What?! Yeah it is. Did you get hit with the pre-load spacer, shock oil and the spring too? Jeeez.... Get that thing straight to the dealer and go all WTFFFF on 'em.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their own amusement.
