I have been running the 15/50 for years with great results. When I tore my motor down at 35,000 miles it looked brand new.

Used 15-50 in all my road racing bikes for years. Never had clutch issues with it. I have it in my Lowrider now but I run ATF in the primary.

Maybe the....

My local dealer says no. He watches it cause clutch slip on the dyno. I do like ATF but I also like options.
I'm so confused. My 15,000 mile is coming up soon.

Yeap.....I alway thought if they just put V-Twin twice on it they could charge $20.00 a qt

6.99 a qt
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...e=nysQuestions

9.49 a qt.
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...randName=Mobil

I am going to try this in the primary
9.49 a qt but every 10,000 is cheap.
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...randName=Mobil

I will still use this
10.99 in the tranny and cheap every 20,000.
http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...yName=Gear+Oil

Or the heaver stuff for AZ heat
16.99

Thanks but I bought it used with 10,000. I've put over 2,000 on it in a month and was out of town a week of that month.

A Bagger makes a hell a lot of difference from the Softail, much better on the passenger, they tend to ride with you more.

That's a fact. On our last trip I asked her if she wanted a break and she asked how many miles had we gone. 150+.... we used to stop every 50-60. Both of us couldn't believe it had been that many miles.
I like that bike more every time I ride it and 43-45 mpg isn't bad either on a 6 gallon tank.
