RE: oils intervals
I service them by the book I do run over once in awhile by a few hunderd miles
My 96 Fatboy has 45,000 on it no problems
My07 RG has 12,000 on it
I do run Quialty oil and lube it maybe over kill but cheap insurance
M1 Vtwin in both engines
In the six speedI run Spectro Platium for 6 speeds
In 5 speed I run REDLINE shock proof heavy
Primary F+ in both
And use HD filters.

RE: oils intervals
The HD manual states 5000 mile oil change itervels. I go the entire riding season between engine oil changes, up to 10.000 miles. I run Amsoil, and they state you can double your oil change intervals. I have 80.000 miles on a 1999 Road King, and have run Amsoil in it since it was new, with no problems.whatsoever. Ialso have a 2008 Classic, and just did the 1000 mile oil change, and guess what I put in? Yep, Amsoil,and I won't change it again till fall. As a matter of fact, my entire famly rides , so thereare a dozen Harleys here that all run Amsoil. Needless to say, we all belive in Amsoil oils

I do my primary and transmission once a year, or about 10000-12000 mile interval.
I do my motor every 5000 miles, or about twice a year.
Mobil 1 in all 3 holes.
