Anyone using Amsoil 75W-110 in their HD trans?

[cfromc]

Looking for any observations/opinions of the Amsoil SVT 75W-110 gear lube in a Harley transmission. Per Amsoil: "It delivers better viscosity protection than SEVERE GEAR 75W-90 and better fuel efficiency than SEVERE GEAR 75W-140." I was going to try Redline's Heavy Shockproof or their new "V-Twin Transmission oil" with Shockproof (probably the same thing) but that stuff is pretty thick. The 75W-110 seems like it may be a middle step between 75W-90 and the Heavy Shockproof. Anyone tried either?

Heavy Shockproof here- been running it for the last 3000 miles and transmission seems to like it. Can't really say it made finding neutral any easier, but shifting was a little quieter than with the Amsoil Severe Gear that was in there before. (I believe it was 75W-90, dealer put it in at 1k svc.) I have an '07 6-speed and the 5th gear whine was slightly less noticeable with the Shockproof than with any other oil. While you could probably tell a difference between Shockproof and 75W-90 gear oil, I doubt the difference would be that great between Shockproof and a 75W-110 or 75W-140 gear oil.

I think one of Shockproof's greatest benefits is the thick film it leaves on everything in the transmission. In one of the HD forums one guy, due to a mistake by his dealer's service tech, ran his transmission for 2500 miles with only an ounce or two of Shockproof in it- and the bike suffered no damage. The heavy film of oil on all the internals kept the transmission lubricated well enough that no damage occurred.
It has been used in Harleys for years and has built a solid reputation as a great gear oil...

I understand that at Sturges, AMSOIL had sold quite a bit of the SVT 75W110.
So there are a lot of guys running it. It will be interesting to hear how this works out for those HD customers next year if and when they return to Sturges and report back.
I have myself sold a few bottles to the guys with these newer 6 speed HD to help quit them down.
Waiting to hear back myself.
