In the northeast riding season will be here soon. Today I switched over my 2010 Harley Davidson FXDC to Mobil-1 20w-50 V-Twin for the motor & Spectro Syn 6-speed for the trans! I will feel better now in traffic on those hot summer days!
Switched over to Synthetic Today!

Riding season is here, even if it's a bit chilly! My GF got me a Heated liner for Christmas. I went for a ride the other day, and it was 51 F. I was nice and warm!

Is there any special reason that you decided on the synthetic oil? Or a reason that you went with the Mobil 1 V-Twin oil? What are you using in your primary chaincase?
Thanks
Kevin

The DR's are great duel sports! I can highly recommend Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 for these bikes, its all I use in mine. The biggest difference you may feel is in shift quality. Happy riding...

Mine is Scarlet Red with HD bags & chrome everything!
That's great! I also switched my Harley from a synthetic engine oil to Pennzoil 25W50 Petroleum.

I have had a good experience with the 15w-40 as well, plus its cheaper if you want to change it out more often. Very stiff add pack, and great sheer stability for an air cooled DR. Keep the rubber side down!
