I took the Road King out yesterday for the first time since doing the 1000 mile fluid changes (went to see me Mum). I used Mobil1 20W50 for V-Twin in the engine, Spectro Heavy Duty Platinum for 6 speed transmissions in the tranny, and Spectro Heavy Duty Primary Chaincase Oil in the primary. I also changed to a K&P Engineering oil filter. I am pleased to report that shifting is noticeably quieter and easier, with much of the CLUNK gone. Gear whine in fifth, while not gone, is noticeably reduced. Using a different oil in every hole is not as convenient as just using the same thing all the way, and this stuff ain't cheap either, but I am very pleased, so far, with the result.

I switched to Mobil 1, Belray trans oil, and primary oil and have never looked back.
Speaking of which, I'm about 40 miles away from doing my 10,000 mile change......
