Man, I gotta say, After installing RP 20w-50 full syn in the crankcase(and ATP in the primary) the scoot really seems to glide along more easily. And I don't hear the clattering of the lifters and valves quite as much. It's kinda pricey, but so far, I think it was a good decision.

I've seen where many guys love RP. I've never used it as it's not readily available around here.

Thought about using it also as i can get it relatively cheap from work but im still not completely sold yet. Thanks for the input though, may give it a try.

Replaced my tranny gear oil with RP from Mobile 1. Shifts better and is quieter. Also finds Neutral much easier now. I'm happy.

I have an 07 road king with 4400 miles on it. I am considering RP max cycle for my 5000 mile service. Any more input on this would be helpful in making my decision. Also can I use it in the engine, primary and trans??

I have checked RP web site and I am still not sure what to about the trans and primary oil. Hopeing someone here can help with that. I used RP in a Road Star and had great results with it.
