2013 Sportster XL1200C all Stock.
Red Line Power Sports 20w-50.
Purolator BOSS filter.
Looks like it did a little better than the WIX, not quite as well as the HD 5 micron.
Mobil 1 filter still seems to be the best so far.
Next run will be with a Fram Ultra XG3614 filter.

Blackstone Comments:
For an HD 1200cc V-Twin, the universal averages are based on about 3,000 miles of oil use.
For the mileage on this oil (and every other sample on the page), copper and tin are still pretty high.
Fortunately, metals took a turn in the right direction in this report.
The decreases help lessen the chance of a problem with brass/bronze parts.
If metals find some stability (or manage to improve some more) in the next report, then you'll be in great shape.
The PC read 24/21/16, consistent with past results. Oil filtration kept insolubles to just a trace level
