Default Brand New Road Glide


After four years on my custom Nightrain, I decided it was time
for a change.. I sold the Nightrain and immediately went to the
local HD dealer and bought a new Road Glide. It is Cobalt Blue
and looks purple in the garage,...but turns blue outside when the
sun shines on it (possibly a magic trick by Harley)..
I plan to use Mobil Delvac in the engine and transmission when
I get 500 miles on the break-in oil. I have it in my wife's Buick,
my Silverado pick-up, and also my big truck. It has served me
well in all applications with quieter noise and smoother operation.
Just thought I would throw out this note to see the reaction..
Thanks for your response..

Not sure about that oil....autos are water cooled. I use Amsoil and I am happy. Welcome from Baton Rouge. Tim
