RE: First Oil Change
I have it in mine now but going to switch to something else when I run out. I have several bottles on the shelf in the garage.
It works fine, but expensive for the primary. The primary doesn't need that fancy of oil. Just something clutch compatible to keep it cool. But if you don't mind the price it's good stuff.

I just put the same set up that you are inquiring about in my new 08 Ultra and it works great. Yes you can go cheaper in the primary but it's just easier to ad it there also. You don't have to change it as often as the crankcase.

use Mobil MX4T (now called Racing 4T) 10/40W Moto syn in my primary. Have run > 150K miles in various bikes with this oil and no problems.
Use mobil V-Twin in engine and 75/90 Mobil Syn gear oil in the tranny
Can get all three at AutoZone or Kragens
