I use Amsoil synthetic in the final drive, any good syn will work. Found the rear end runs cooler with a good syn in there.

Yes, he is the great Author.
Hell of a good knowledgeable person on the Valkyrie maintenance and repair, especially the rear end components.

I ride a motorcycle because nothing transports me as quickly from where I am to who I am.
