Default Question on Maintenance

Could not make it to a HD Dealer - work to late. So I stopped by Local auto parts store. Need to do a fluid change on my 07 Ultra - 103ci. Hitting the road for a few days

Picked up a fram PH6022 oil filter - Mobile 1 15w - 50 oil - Mobile 1 75w-140 gear lube(trans) and Castrol GTX 20w-50 motor oil for primary

Question - Is this stuff good to go for my intend use of am I asking for trouble

Thanks
UD

Don't know about the filter specs, but the fluids u chose should be fine.

Only Amsoil & Redline for me though.

I would not use a fram filter on my lawnmower but the rest should be ok. I use Amsoil in everything myself.

If the maintenance has been done regularly and the compression is good 52k is just fine. You might want to check the cam chain adjusters and primary chain tensioner, they probably have been replaced some time ago.

oil for the crank, good to go, oil for the transmission good to go, oil for the primary if it is wet clutch apporved, then good to go (I use Valoline 20W-50 4 stroke MC oil in my primary, jaso approved). the Fram, I have no idea, never used Fram's on my bike.

I wouldn't go with the FRAM filter most store around here carry K&N filters.
The fluids will be fine in a pinch
