Wow - the last couple of you on this thread discussing MA/MA2 have possibly helped in my next endeavor. Im looking for a primary fluid for a Harley primary - not shared. Have been using HD Formula+: ----------------------------------------------------------- Harley-Davidson Formula + (...

Yeah, the usual's show up as they have for many years. And on a couple different forums. I find it interesting that none of them will admit to the incorrect advertising of additives. They keep talking about meeting certifications. The same certifications other oils meet. Anyway, thank all...

I was very tempted to switch from Mobile 1 v-twin 20/50 to mobile 1 synthetic 15w/50 but the more recent UOA/VOA show it has less additives then a few years ago. Not saying it is still not an option. However, it looks no different then other options where as before it stood out. Did I miss...

Old thread. But new rider looking at 6 speed lube. Regarding Shockproof, their is a Blackstone UOA from a GM diff that has two shockproof analysis. One shows it as 37@100cst, the prior test 32@100cst.. That would definitely quiet things down... Shockprrof UOA - GM Diff .

Thats your UOA?? A little slow here.... Lots of people run 75w/90 in baggers . Many also run 75w/140. And many run Shockproof. Redline keeps pushing the Shockproof/Vtwin 75w/90, which they told me is thinner then Formual+, but its easy to find people that dont like it or dont notice a...

Thanks for posting the UOA correctly. The fluids that have been used the most in HD transmissions are HD Syn 3 20/50, possibly Mobil 1 20/50 also, and Formula+. These spec out at ~20 VI @ 100cst and are GL1 and possibly GL3. Many use gear oils 75w/90 and 75w/140. Those are typically ~15 and...

Hi, I am new here, apologies if I do something wrong. I am interested in Redline 75w/110 for a Harley 6 speed transmission and found the below UOA on another site. It may also be on BITOG. I am curious what you think about it. The UOA results have 10k miles from a motorcycle that shares the...

Yes, I realize this thread is 1 1/2 years old. The RC version is very nice and the one to look at if comparing to HD. Use it for my cammed 2011 103. Can be found for ~$10 shipped right now. Hiflo HF171BRC RC Racing Oil Filter Also, nuts are not necessary but its better to have, then not too
