Is there a genuine HD brand popcorn oil? I like to avoid using non moco brands when possible.

I wave using my Screamin' Eagle foam finger, while holding my Screamin' Eagle drain plug, waiting for my Screamin' Eagle oil to drain into my Screamin' Eagle drain tray before I dump it into my Screamin' Eagle disposal jug. After that I have to get into my car and drive the oil to my local recycling company because the SE jug is too big to fit on my bike. But rest assured, my car has Screamin' Eagle floor mats.

Lucky me, I'll never have to worry about that if I just get rid of my windshield... SAVE! YAY ME!
This brings up another question, do chrome oil filters filter the oil better?

After reading through all these posts, I can tell you that this thread is useless.

OK new Service Bulletin, use ONLY chrome oil filters IF you decide that you are going to change oil!
Make sure to ONLY mix your oil and gas after you have warmed your bike up while on your way to Hooters for cheese fries! Sit and recollect on the journey to your local Hooters with your other like minded riders and stand around in a circle and ask stupid question and come up with even more ridiculous ideas! We could do this step by step or we could do it the hard way! GET ME!?!?!
