But doesn't this thread belong in the OIL section so this debate will not rage on yet again ??

You better go back to the stock HD oil that came in you bike or your warranty will be voided.......Sorry, couldn't help myself LOL LOL

We do! And if we don't, We should!

But yes, I believe there is a section for debates like this one and maybe the wobble threads should be placed there too..

At the 1000 mile service I put Royal Purple 20w50 in the engine & primary, Redline in the transmission. Made a difference, the engine is a little less noisey and the transmission doesn't make that god aweful noise when shifting from neutral to 1st so bad, it's still there ....just less.
I've been using Royal Purple for years now and have had positive results, plus their HQ is in my backyard so I like to support the "local guy."
