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

Re: Oil/ Oil Additives
THere used to be a view that you should use mineral oil during break-in, then switch to synthetic. Now, it's certainly still no problem to switch after break-in, in fact recommended, but many think

Do you remember NWC....
Some of you will remember my wee run in with an auld, bloody awkward ewe on a wee single Scottish track a few years ago (aye, Dick the one you went over last year). Well I finally caught up with her

Re: Oil/ Oil Additives
IMHO your dubya is due for synthetic and a new filter. I haven't used the purolator filter but others say it works. The extra capacity of it sounds good but I'm not sure about the relief valve

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

Re: Oil/ Oil Additives
Thanks JV. But any concerns about switching over to synthetic when it wasn't used during "break-in"? Also, got any views about using the longer than stock Purolator PureOne Oil Filter? I've got just

Strangely enough MOST of the HD riders I know do use their bikes. The annual mileage of most of the members of Invicta H.O.G. is quite high Dick
