valve train noise
I love my new bike, wouldn't trade it for anything (well, that might be stretching it). BUT, there is considerably more valve train noise on this bike than I had to endure on my '05 Fatboy. At first I was thinking it was just because of the fairing and the lowers (I know it makes a difference) but I'm sure it's louder, especially since going Syn 3 at the 1K. Anybody think Mobil 1 V-Twin will quiet it any? I just bought 2 cases!

I use mobil 1 V twin in the engine and primary of my 06 ultra,and use redline shockproof in transmission. It helped my oil pressure by 5 psi and quieted a lot of noises. worked for me Dan
