While we're on the subject of HDs...
A friend of mine has the hots for a Buell (not the latest one). I recall that Sportster gear boxes used to be notoriously fragile. Is that all a thing of the past or are they still a weak point? Pete

It's cheaper for a reason. It's re-cracked fossil oil. I used it for a while then went back to Mobil1 in my diesel. jv_roberts2000 <jv_roberts2000@...> wrote: It's the Shell Rotella-T 5w-40

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, just for the freak-factor. And I like military equipment. Of course my big 40th is coming up at the end of the month, if anybody has connections and wants to stuff one into
