MOBIL1 V-TWIN 20w50 IN ALL 3 HOLES!!!

Shifts AMAZINGLY SMOOTHER then the Syn3 that was in her prior to my oil change last week. Motor feels much happier, and the clutch is nice and smooth!

i have used, the harley primary oil, 10w30 motor oil, 10w40 motor oil, 20w50 harley dino oil, atf type f, and some generic 20w50 racing oil and to tell you the truth i couldn't tell the difference in any of them. my 85 fl has the original clutch plates and original primary chain. i replaced the chain adjuster shoe just last year after over 100k on the bike.
