I just serviced my bike today:
Mobil 1 V-twin 20W50 in the motor
Redline shockproof heavy in the trans
Redline V-Twin Primary in the Primary
I like that I can get Mobil 1 at any auto parts store if I'm on the road and need to top off.
The redline shockproof heavy in the trans is recommended by Baker for my F6F
this is my first try with Redline V-twin primary.

The Shockproof Heavy is the only thing I use in my trannys.
The RedLine primary I have been using for two years in 4 different bikes,.
As far as motor oil I was using RedLine 20-50 but have gone to other good brands of full syn 20-50 such as mobile1 when I can get a good case price.

Off subject here, but how are those 888s working out?

I was way off, so you are good.
Only 200 road miles before the salt hit the roads. They are really nice torque makers.
Do a 888 cam search and you should see some of my posts.

Ditto. While some may think that running a good synthetic in the primary is a waste, I think it contributes to longer life of the chain and chain tensioner pad. If you are mechanically inclined this is no big deal to replace, but if you are not, the extra cost for synthetic will soon offset the labor cost to replace the tensioner pad more frequently.
