I read so much about the redline products on this site and how well everyone likes it, I decided to do the change. I ordered the Big twin 2050 Power Pack kit from Redline, since no one in the Detroit area carries redline products for motor cycles.  The problem is I can't comment on the change until our weather changes.

I ran Amsoil before and was pleased, I'm anxious to feel the differance with the Redline.

Hey Ray,
  Please post your results when changed. My friend runs AMSOIL and stands by the quality. Haven't heard much here about REDLINE. I hear the SHOCKPROOF tranny oil is great.

  Looking forward to your input.

I switched from Amsoil to Redline in all 3 holes. The motor has no real difference in feel or noise, but the trans is smoother shifting and quieter. Neutral was easier to find also.

I had always used Redline products in my 05..  I got tired of not being able to find neutral in my 10, so at 650 miles, put MTL in the primary, Shockproof in the tranny, and 20W50 in the motor and all is well.

Did you purchase the MTL at Jegs Bob, or does somebody else sell it around here?

I noticed you did not use the "V-Twin" specific lubes, any harm in doing so? If not are there any benefits?

I spoke with the Redline Tech support last Friday in length.  The V-Twin products are as follows Primary= MTL  V-Twin Trans= Heavy shockproof (Red).  All repackaged to give you that warm fuzzy feeling. And with same great taste, or something like that

Thanks for the post, think I'll go ahead and try the Redline products myself

Thank You, that info save me a long trip. I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

It's not that I have any issue at all with Redline motor oil.  Have used it in in a few places over the years.  Got to admit a (sort of) silly reason I'll not use it in the bikes though.

I use Redline Shockproof in the gear boxes.  A good synthetic ATF in the primaries.  Mobil 1 in the engines.  They are all quality lubricants.  Choosing between them and other lubricants also of good quality is a distinction without a difference.  But as they're used in my bikes now if something leaks I'll always know what it is.  They look different, smell different and even taste different.

Lazy man's diagnostics?  No doubt.  But I'll take simple and easy when it's simple and easy and doesn't jeopardize or cost a thing.

Don, You are bordering on being a Genius! Of course I'm very tired and it could just be me.
