I usually use Redline sock p.k roof but my independent dealer that usually keeps it has not been restocking it. I picked up some Amsoil v-twin transmission lube. I've used it in the past with good results.

Tried most of the 'top of the line'. Redline shockproof by far. Just a smear of dust on the plug everytime. Nuetral easy to find. Smoooooth shifts.
