Best engine oil for 97 sportster?
I have a 97 xl1200c sportster with aprox 24000 miles on it, I live in Arizona and this time of year the temp is around 90 to 80 degrees. I am about to change the engine oil, what is the best budget friendly oil to use for my bike?

As the ol saying goes...you can pay now or you can pay more later. IMHO the key to a long trouble free life of ANY internal combustion engine is clean QUALITY oil. Pick a top shelf synthetic. I think Mobil 1 V twin 20/50 is the right choice for a air cooled MC. Others will think otherwise...there are many good oils...whatever do not put cheap crap in your bike, in the end you will pay more.
