Oil is going in a 2012 HD Heritage Softail Custom 103 twin cam. The Softail does not have a shared engine/primary/transmission, they are separate. The OCI for this bike is 5,000 miles. I bought it new as a hold over on July 27th 2013 and put a 1,000 miles on it in a week and then changed the break in oil. I put another 1670 miles on it going to Sturgis bike week and then a few hundred more before the end of August when I had to quit riding due to job and then winter set in. It now sits in hibernation for a couple more months. Bike has a little over 3,000 miles on it. Most of the miles I drive are rural 2 lane highways at speeds of 55-65 MPH with very few interstate at 75 MPH.
I live in north Dakota and yes it does get over 100*F at times but usually temps are around 80-90 for highs and I ride as low as 50*F. If you've ever been to Sturgis during bike week it can pretty hot and slow driving in Sturgis.
O.K. now the question. If you had to choose between the 2 oils listed and they both cost the same which oil would you use for the described driving conditions.
