It sounds like you have a good mechanic who knows his stuff about Harleys .I found the redline shockproof very good in my 6 speed

Should have done it yourself and you could be riding in a couple hours .. Actually I prefer the first service be done by the dealer.. I do all the others myself..

I did not bring to dealer . I took to one of the best H/D mechanics in my area. These guys build quality race motors. First service I want right. I will do rest on my own.

I thought it must have been a independent shop using amsoil and redline shockproof oil in your sled. I bet they do a proper 1st service on your bike as well

My guess is that he thought with Amsoil and Redline you didn't go to a dealer. Dealers bash them saying the Harley oil is the best.
