    i've been using amsoil 20/50 for everything. works very well. tried a regular trans fluid - belray - not to say this is no good, but the amsoil seems best.

    MOST PARTS places carry LUCAS MOTORYCYCLE FULLY SYN it has a red label 20/50 Amsoil is good to but a little harder to find I have run LUCAS for years in all three holes Backroad riding as well as touring in Road Kings Street Glide an current CVO street glide run 70plus out WEST in 100 plus heat all day long with no Trouble I would say Amsoil an LUCAS Motorcycle syn. are the best Lucas wins just because it found in more part stores across US

    I run Mobil 1 20W-50 V-Twin Synthetic in all three and never had a problem.  Can find it at any auto parts store when on the road.
