Well , you asked....
I personally like
Royal Purple 20w50 for the engine.
Redline Heavy Shockproof in the trans.
Harley primary oil in the primary.
I have tried a few different combinations , and these seem to run the quietest in my bike.
I used to be an Amsoil enthusiast , but the engine seemed a bit more ticky and more clatter with Amsoil.
I may try Redline 20w50 next in the engine , but the Royal Purple is the quietest so far.
They're all good , just personal preference.
