Looking for a synthetic oil recommendation for an air cooled v-twin. Specifically of the Harley-Davidson variety. Been running the Harley branded stuff but I imagine there are better options out there. Amsoil? Royal Purple? Mobile 1?
Thanks.

Thanks.
I've been using Mobil 1 for about 3yrs, and have been happy with the performance.
ETA: Especially at $3-$4 cheaper a qt than HD branded product. Plus, I bought 6 or 8 cases in Sturgis on a promo deal from Mobil, so it's actually cheaper than that, but I'll likely be out by the end of this season.
What weight do you need?
I run Rotella T6 in all my bikes, and it is awesome.
Have a buddy that swears by Ansoil, but I'm a cheap bastard.
I use Rotella in my 450x too. It's good stuff.
Yep. 20-50. Here's what I'm running in all applications.

Here's the back, if you're interested.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...4077066e10.jpg
Thanks for the photos. The Mobil 1 would be convenient because I can run it in everything on the bike. Might have to try to pick some up locally. Need to get both of the bikes serviced this weekend because I head for South Dakota the following weekend.
Where you staying? We're planning on rolling in Friday 7/31.
