Default Harley "new" Syn 3 Full Synthetic
So is the newest version of SYN 3 - that came out about a years or so ago (I think) - the one that is "full synthetic" versus a synthetic blend just as good as Mobil 1 and the others? I have looked for reviews on-line but they all seem to stop around 2012. So I haven't seen anything on the SYN3 Full synthetic.

I don't really know, but I used to run it in my bike. Last year I switched to Amsoil. Its supposed to be good stuff. Hope that was a good decision..

I think since SYN3 became "full" syn, this is a dead issue.

Oh for Petes sake, buy any aftermarket syn oil - it's cheaper and in most cases better.
