Hey Benjy. . .I'm also in PA and new to the Victory brand. I have a 2013 Cross Country Tour that I currently use Victory oil in. Was just wondering, have you done any UOAs on the Vic oil? I'm approaching 4500 miles on this OCI of Vic oil and will be changing it within a week or so and will be doing a UOA on it. Personally, I haven't noticed any difference in engine sound / transmission behavior over the life of this OCI. The engine has no unusual start-up noise and the tranny shifts like it always has. I have noticed the engine smooth out considerably over this OCI and it pulls like a freight train--I'm really enjoying this bike!
