Drag Specialties Synthetic Motorcycle Oil 20w50

Any help with this oil would be greatly appreciated. It's had to find anything. What type of base stock, who makes it. Has anyone run this oil?

I run it in a recent full rebuild on my TC 114" with Revolution Performance cylinders (nickesil) and had the oppty to try a new set of Feuling cams. My engine builder made it a point of calling me and asking what oil I use. He said he was going to start selling it because he said the cylindrs and cams looked like the day he put it together after 8k miles.
Thats the best I can tell you.

Howdy Msparks --- clearly this is oil that is rebranded and without knowing what it is specifically and who made it, I would be scared to put it in my bike. Stick with brand-named oils. It is cheap insurance.

One of the Harley shops (not dealer) I go to carries this stuff.
Don't know anything about it or others that use it.
I see the brand "Drag Specialties" after market parts there too.

It's made by Spectro Oil, which is made in USA product. Gold Wing owners have been using this oil for years, along with a bunch of other motorcyclists.

I too prefer to use an oil with a brand name I recognize rather than a rebranded oil you don't know what it actually is.

With that, fonz67 seems to have proven the oil out so it sounds ok do use for sure. I use Redline V-Twin in my Harleys and have been satisfied. If the price was the same or even a litte more than this Drag Specialties oil...I would surely go Redline. I know what's in the Redline bottle.

Thanks for the info. Anyway to tell if it's for sure made by Spectro? Pricing looks like it would be group III at best and most likely group II/III blend?
