Default Lucas Oils

Anyone out there running any Lucas products? I'm going to start servicing my own bike and, I was thinking about switching over to the Lucas Oils for motorcycles.

Lucas synthetic was recommended to me by Thunder Alley Cycles in Burleson, Texas.&nbsp\\; They found it equal or better than Amsoil and run it in all of the bikes.&nbsp\\; After running it in a 2007 Street Bob I noticed a major difference in the transmission and the way the bike ran.&nbsp\\; I am now using it in a 2008 Street Glide.&nbsp\\; Both bikes ran stronger and smoother after going to Lucas from Syn3.&nbsp\\; I don't think you can go wrong with most synthetics on the market.&nbsp\\;

I am an automotive transmission technician. When I see there advertisement on TV about renewing worn bands I just have to laugh. Am I expected to believe the magic molecules are going to attach themselves to the band? I think not! Nothing in a bottle&nbsp\\;is going to&nbsp\\;fix a broken transmission and to contribute to a company with that kind of misleading advertising is beyond me even if there other oil products are good!
