In the northeast riding season will be here soon. Today I switched over my 2010 Harley Davidson FXDC to Mobil-1 20w-50 V-Twin for the motor & Spectro Syn 6-speed for the trans! I will feel better now in traffic on those hot summer days!
Switched over to Synthetic Today!

Riding season is here, even if it's a bit chilly! My GF got me a Heated liner for Christmas. I went for a ride the other day, and it was 51 F. I was nice and warm!

Is there any special reason that you decided on the synthetic oil? Or a reason that you went with the Mobil 1 V-Twin oil? What are you using in your primary chaincase?
Thanks
Kevin

The DR's are great duel sports! I can highly recommend Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 for these bikes, its all I use in mine. The biggest difference you may feel is in shift quality. Happy riding...

Mine is Scarlet Red with HD bags & chrome everything!
That's great! I also switched my Harley from a synthetic engine oil to Pennzoil 25W50 Petroleum.

I have had a good experience with the 15w40 as well, plus its cheaper if you want to change it out more often. Very stiff add pack, and great sheer stability for an air cooled DR. Keep the rubber side down!
