Looks kind of like my gear set when I pulled, gooped up with Red Line Shockproof

Which HD had a 5 speed tranny AND water anywhere near the engine at the same time? Or how did the water get into that 5 speed to begin with?

That mess is Redline.  Someone is trying to get attention.

This guy is a builder 3 miles from me who has had some nice work showcased. My guess is after the occ craze started to fade the shop started doing regular work to stay afloat. Have met him at a few local bike events and always seemed to be just someone trying to do a good job and offering up another indy shop in the area.

Have a bit of a different opinion now. At least not make social media posts trying to drum up business like this.

I'm not sure what your guy or the one in the original post expected to see on parts soaked in a very clingy lube that just happens to be dyed red.  If the lube had been dyed purple you would have seen purple gears.  Fortunately the lube wasn't dyed a rust color.

That's exactly what they look like when Red Line Shockproof is used.  Nothing wrong with it.  RLS is very sticky, by design.

Probably voided the warranty.  Because red is the fastest gear lube.

Here's what happens when you mix Shockproof with conventional oil.

Looks like that would be good to use to wash down a Tide pod.

Nothing better than a shockproof ale with a good head on it.

   Guess it's time to start a "What Oil/Lube Would Make the Best Beer" thread. Have not started a poll in a while...

I guess that's why it's called HEAVY shockproof!?!
