It was in the mid to upper 70s today. It was even warmer sitting on the highway surrounded by cages for a while. I think one girl was getting mad because she was trying to talk on her cell phone. I guess I was making to much noise for her. I LOVE my V&H big shot staggered. :-)

the kit includes 5qt of motor oil. That should be enough to flush. It also comes with a qt of primary oil and a qt of trans fluid with shock proof. It also has a funnel and hat with stickers. The stickers are worth $100 bucks so the oil is free. LOL

My brand new Breakout has no trouble finding neutral and the "clunk" into 1st is very modest, so whatever HD is using now, seems decent.

Anyone knows what HD is using?
