Bardahl Motorcycle Oils
Has anybody heard of these oil products? Our local Indy swears by their products. Bardahl has been around a long time -- since like the 1930s or something like that. Here's the link:

It's just another marketing brand name like STP,Wynn's,etc-.
Just because the name has been around for years does not mean it's a superior product.Companies sell these brand names to other companies.

RE: Bardahl Motorcycle Oils
The indy here in town that sells it was telling me yesterday that he had a customer come in who was having difficulty finding neutral. He asked the customer if he could install Bardahl 'All-in-One' in the transmission and if the trouble still exists that he'd pay to replace it (the customer was running Syn 3). Anyways....you know the rest of the story -- the customer's problem apparently disappeared. I don't know the Indy well enough to know whether he was BSing, but I thought it was pretty interesting. BTW, the Indy was an HD engineer for twenty plus years before going out on his own.

No, not at all. Never said I wanted to use it. I was just interested to find out whether anyone else uses it. In fact, I was a Mobil Lubricant Distributor in an 'earlier life.' I use Mobil synthetics in most everything. I also use some Amsoil products -- good stuff, IMO.

RE: Bardahl Motorcycle Oils
Yeah, problems like that don't clear up because of a fluid swap, unless the other stuff was waaaaay overdue for changing and was like tar. Remember, dealers, wether independants or MoCo's, are out to make as much $$$ as they can. This guy is a Bardahl dealer and is likely making a 50% profit on each qt he sells, or more.
