Not trying to rain on your parade, but...Why buy oil from them?  This is far, far away from their core business; they aren't making their own, just buying it from someone else, and they haven't published any independent oil analysis reports--so no idea what the quality is.  The only reason for them to do this is b/c it makes money for them.  I just can't justify buying "their" oil.

Harley not in the oil business either, but LOTS of folks by there stuff. Neither is Joe Gibbs in the lubricant business but if I build a new motor, car or bike, it will definitely have his brand of break-in-oil.
Point is they make a living by selling mainly motorcycle stuff that we want to buy. I agree with you I won't change oil brands for this stuff but it very well may be a good product.

Since they don't provide full spec sheets we have no way of knowing if the fluids are good, bad, or mediocre.  Obviously V&H doesn't refine their own lubricants, so yes they buy it from a real lubricant company and have it bottled with their brand name on it.  Would I run right out to buy V&H branded oil?  No I wouldn't.  I'd rather buy mine from the folks who actually made it whenever possible.
