Re: Primary Lube Poll
Glider,

I have done lots of reading and seems you are very respected as being very knowledgable about HD's. I just recently prurchased 04' Road King wiht 6,000 miles. the HD Syn oil is used in all holes. What do you recommend instead of the HS oil. I know this is a WIDE open topic but respect what you have written so far.

You may want to consider the Formula+ from the dealer as it's not a synthetic and better on the clutch discs, also a bit less expensive too.

Re: Primary Lube Poll
I have been using Syn3, probably will go to Formula+. Will for sure go to a non-synthetic.

Best bet is to forgo the syn 3 altogether. Hugh Chavez supplies it for the MOCO besides which it is not a true synthetic anyway but a blend. There are MUCH better oils available for the same price and in some cases even cheaper than the syn3

Right-on glider..........I've read your articles on this forum about Syn3 . The last of Syn3 is in my bikes. In the future, I'll probably put Mobil1 in the engine, Formula+ in the primary, and Bel-Ray transmission fluid in the tranny.
