Default Redline in your tranny
I just put 22 ounces of high shock in and went for a spin after riding all day. This is how it should have come from Harley if they were not so cheap.You have been told now go and do it.2000 FLHT 30 k

I put it in mine and could not tell any difference over the Amsoil 20-50 that was in there. I do like the pink color, it makes it easy to see the oil level when I check it.

+1 on the Redline. Good stuff and I have told many of my buddies about it as well. It's just hard to find.

Yes it is hard to find. 35 miles one way to a private guy \dealer but it was a bluebird day and I had a nice ride.

I've been running Redline shockproof for many years in my transmission. Smooth as silk.

I have been mulling this over since I heard about Redline. Fill quantities are the same as factory oil, correct? I am just looking at your 22oz vs my 32(?), but then again our bikes are different.

What is the recommended change interval? Do you still follow the MoCo's change times? According to the MoCo, oil type does not change the interval but I see change intervals all over the map. I figure you can't go wrong sticking with the factory recommendations.

I just put Redline heavy shockproof in my '00 fatboy for the first time. I can't believe how much better it runs through the gears and much easier to find neutral. I also put redline 20-60 in the engine for the summer. I've been doing this for a few years now and it really quiets down the valvetrain noise.

I just put Redline in the transmission and it seems to smooth things out so far.

I have it in both bikes and shifting seems to be much smoother, not as clunky
