Ha! HD really does push the 85w140 for both, now.

Klotz is good stuff. I used to LOVE the 2 stroke oil in my dirt bikes, it smelled the best!

ATF in the Primary case and synthetic gear oil in the transmission. I had a half quart of synthetic gear oil and a half quart of regular gear oil in the shop and that's what went into my transmission this morning on my winter three hole service. Oh, wait ... wrong thread; sorry.
