It's nice to see you enjoying the bikes you work on. Beautiful scenery.
Enjoyed that mate - great to see you out on the bike again and loved the sound of your 20 year old beast - dare I say it much nicer sounding than the first Harley I ever rode (just last week!!)...all the best mate to you and Penn - Andy
Hey Andy, I just watched that video 10mins ago, congratulations Sir, am glad you enjoyed it... of course, a modern Milwaukee8 Harley will always be a 'friendly puppy', the offer is always open to come down and take a ride on a 'proper' Harley with a carburetor! If it's any consolation, although it's two decades old, it does have Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes, the one thing about old Harleys is you can improve them beyond belief and tune them to how you want them... take care and have a fabulous weekend, all the best to you and the family!
@@Moonfleet41 I 100% would love to do that mate - we really should synch up our diaries! Let's chat soon and get it booked before winter is upon us.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer 10/4 mate, be rude not to.!
Interesting. Good to see a video with you out on the bike again👍
i live in belgium but i work in copenhagen and haven't been home for 5 weeks, when i see this movie i miss my harley so much 😔😉
Thanks for the virtual ride Del. Almost as good as the real thing when you’re in lockdown. Nice job on the two camera edit. Cheers from Melbourne
Thanks mate, really appreciate you saying so, it was a long day to edit that! Stay well and safe there.
Thanks for the review!
I will be changing all three oils in another 1000 miles in my 08 Softail Heritage to the same ones you used. Looking forward to a smoother gearbox!!
Have a great weekend and all the best to Penny 😀
Hi Harold, that sounds good, you can change the gearbox oil any time, it will make an instant difference! Have a great weekend, ride safe and enjoy the sunshine! D&Px
First, that is a bad ass Dyna with what it looks like an S7S carburetor. Second, that was an amazing ride for history. Third, I cannot agree with you anymore on the dedicated gearbox oil. I use Syn3 for motor and primary for convenience because I have Harley dealers everywhere, but use their gearbox oil because it is quieter and thicker. In my opinion it just make sense. I am on my fourth Harley an I know its right. A warm salute to you from across the pond, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Thanks for your great videos.
Hey brother, great to hear from you and thank you for your kind words on the Dyna, I ride an M8 StreetBob these days and it's nothing like the legendary charm of a slow revving twin cam and that was, indeed, an S&S Super E carb, a massive investment, but it woke the bike right up and truly got the best from the performance! Glad to hear you share the common agreement of dedicated gear oil... take care and ride safe in beautiful VA.
Glorious day, glorious ride, glorious bike and a glorious noise!!! Vid of the year. No doubt.
Thank you Phil, that's very kind of you, was indeed a glorious day out!
Such a beautiful video, mate 👍🏻 Your test, tips and superb cinematography 👌🏻 Keep it on, man!
Thank you kindly Sir. Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video to see, I am changing all 3 holes in the next couple of days, after watching your February film, I did so much research on Amsoil & it was all good, so good on you for using your bike as the test vehicle. One can't beat the sound , ride or experience of just burbling along on a big twin. Have a great weekend both & thanks for a lovely film, the Dyna is looking so nice 👌 😀
Thank you Geoff, good luck with your oil change, you won't regret it... and you're dead right, when you're beating along in the sunshine on a big twin, the sound is just soul stirring... enjoy the sunshine mate, aand ride safe, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 thanks guys , enjoy your weekend x👍
Hi Del, glad to hear that you have had such good results from the new dedicated gearbox oil, good test all round I would say. Have a great weekend and catch up next week.
Hi Andy, yes very pleased with the results, and glad I made the change!
i watch too many movies. I was waiting for the germans with the tanks to come over the hills during the ride. Lol. I love the Amsoil in my 1200 sporty. It completely changed how the bike felt for the better. Good vid Del Boooooy!
Glad you enjoyed it, and happy that the Germans didn't arrive over the hill! Ride safe mate, Del
Like what a lot of the other comments have said; what a beautiful place in the world to live, and superb video- really did have a mesmerizing Virtual Reality feel to it, almost as if I was there. Well done, man, well done. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it so much, perhaps we'll do a few more!
I used Bel-Ray Gearsavor oil in my trans and the improvement is just like you said.
1996 FXDL w/36000 miles
nice to see you out and about Del sounds really well good result.
Thanks Tony, good to hear from you again, hope life is good mate!
I don't find the results of this test as surprising now as I might have done a few years ago. Totally different kettle of fish but I ride a 2016 Fireblade and until last year it was always main dealer serviced simply for warranty purposes and the dealer has always been good with me. But, in 2019 when I serviced the bike through my business and changed the oil I used a K&N filter because it was convenient and Castrol Power 1 Racing fully synthetic - of the same viscosity as recommended by Honda.
Both of my Blades I have owned from new, 2014 and 2016 models have had the exact same in terms of servicing from the dealer. After changing the oil to Castrol, the gearbox is unbelievably smooth! I was in disbelief the first ride out. It makes me question, what exactly are the main dealer using? Some form of cheap bulk oil, semi synthetic perhaps? I've no idea but I would highly recommend anyone to question what oil they are using and look at suitability.
Nice upload Dell ..good to see a riding video , makes a nice change from normal garage stuff ...not all work and no play thankfully
You got that right mate, feels good to get out!
Breath taking scenery followed by a fascinating analysis. Thank you brother. Kisses to Penny 😘
Thank you Brother, let's make a plan some day and you can come down here and ride these roads with us again... we miss your sunny smile... hope the family are keeping safe and well, love n' hugs, D&Pxx
Holy moly, great vid Bruv! Bike looking and sounding sweeeet in the sunshine! Niiiiice 😎☀️🏍👌👊🏻
Thanks Brother, it was a glorious ride and great to get out in the sunshine! Just making the most of what summer we've got left aye?!!
Really enjoyed this video of you riding in the countryside. Thanks for sharing.
Gotta love the one and half lane roads. I experienced them many years ago in my left hand drive American minivan. Faced a Transit van heading in the opposite direction, both of us at the speed limit. We both realized the road was too narrow to complete the pass, breaking to a stop with our side view mirrors just inches apart. We both reached out and retracted our mirrors and carried on. Beautiful country.
Thank you Sir, I drive a 40ft coach around these lanes for my day job, and you have to slow down, even when there's a cyclist going the other way lol and when you do meet a 'proper' truck coming the other way, it can be a loooong afternoon!!
Hey Del, mixed bag of things to say. Nice countryside. Those rolling hills and pastures look a lot like east Germany at the Czech border. Some of those roads are very narrow. Good thing Ken Block doesn't live near by. Good to see the crucifix hanging on the bars. I wear one religiously when I ride. No pun intended. And finally, did you record the audio for that ride on a separate device? The engine sounds overlapped perfectly between scene changes. Well done. The perfect video to quietly eat lunch by. Thanks.
Hey Joe, always a pleasure to hear from you Sir... and yes, we are priviledged to live in a beautiful place indeed, never tire of crusing the lanes, even on a dull day! Yes, I made the video using 3 files, two cameras with sound muted, and the entire sound data was captured on a Zoom H2n handy recorder... and to keep it away from any wind rush, I tuck it in the back of my shirt just above my belt... and as you can hear, it picks up the sound perfectly! The rest is just a 12hr editing marathon!!... dropping the sound data in first, and then line up the two camera files above it, and then just align them as you go along... pretty easy once you get the hang of it, just time consuming, but well worth it... thank you for taking the time to say, when it gets noticed it makes it all worthwhile.
Great video del lovely scenery looks like a nice place to live. One thing I cant wait for is owning a Harley Davidson and just taking it out on a long drive in the country.
Enjoyed that - great to see you out and about on the bike on those roads in beautiful Dorset. As I live in Salisbury it’s great to see roads I know and love! And that Harley looks and sounds amazing👌😊
Thanks Michael, we're very lucky to live where we do aye... perhaps we'll meet you on the road, as we're in Blandford, we often ride the Salisbury, Shaftesbury, Blandford triangle, just for a blast!
Delboy's Garage I’ll keep my eyes peeled, that is a great triangle. Tomorrow it’s breakfast at Moto corsa in Gillingham and some Great Dorset roads!
Nice video Del, thanks! It would be good to hear your commentary whilst riding.
Rocky19011 I think the idea is, to just listen to the engine etc
Amsoil is truely some good stuff, i’ve switched all 5 of my bikes to the “metric” 10w-40 & they all shift & run great.
I really enjoyed the build on this bike and am glad to see you putting miles on it. It looks and sounds great!
Thank you Sir, it is great to be putting miles on it at last for sure!
Great and informative Del!! Thanks man, I actually just went to AMS myself recently, but still keeping the 3 different oils. Before I was utilizing all HD oils, but again, 3 different oils on my 2009 FXD. I haven't noticed any different between the two brands, but I wasn't expecting any. I've actually never ran all one oil. This video definitely was a good reminder why.
Glad you enjoyed the video and good call on the FXD, best model range they ever made!
Those roads are so beautiful and yet so deadly..cheers
What a nice ride! Thanks! Always cool to see what's on the other side of the océan!
I ordered some Motul 7100 20w50 for the motor. Been using Mobil1 in motor and primary with their gear oil in the box. RedLine was okay but got dirty/seemed noisy the closer to the change interval. $Pricey$
what is ur bike plz and how it wae the motul 7100
@@alrihani79 13 HD Fat Bob 103. It is good. It's red to start with so you can really see when to change it.
del, it was good to get out on the road again; even if it was riding your video. really nice vid, really enjoyed it! THANKS.
Most welcome buddy, it was a great day out, always good to go for a ride!
Ay! You took us on a ride. It’s been forever. I missed the commentary, but sometimes it better to just shut up and enjoy the scenery!
I couldn't agree more!
Great vid , been waiting for this !
This week I’ve changed my engine, primary and 2 hrs ago did my trans .
There was standard mineral oil in the slim so I’ve gone for syn 3 in the engine. Formula plus in the primary and the latest Harley synthetic gear oil in the transmission. Next time it’s due I’ll probably switch to Amsoil as I’ve heard so many good things about it .
Cheers 👍
Nice ride beautiful day , paint looked great in the sun.
I usually run Mobil 1 V-twin in the motor, Royal Purple in the trans, and just regular Harley Formula+ gear/primary lube in the primary. Never saw any point in using a $14 or 15 dollar synthetic oil in the primary as the Harley stuff is $8 a quart. To me that’s pretty damn cheap and it does the job. Saves a few dollars every change. Plus it’s rated for 10k mile interval per Harley.
Finally! I been waiting for this!
Stunning scenery mate, and interesting results. Hope you’re both well 👍🏻
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed, yes both well here, hope you're the same, catch up at some point aye?!
Beautiful country... but it would take me forever to get used to riding on the left side of the road!
It would take one day if that.
I’ve been doing that ( driving on the left) for a few days every two years and it’s fine. Easy!!
It’s surprisingly easy to adapt. I do think, though, that in an emergency, you (I) might revert to the side you are used to and that is not a good thing.
Beautiful country side man.
Them back roads would be considered the width of bicycle trails on this side of the swinging hole.. Nice riding sir. 🤘
Thanks buddy, we have some beautiful countryside here, great to get out and put life in perspective!
Nothing like the sound of an old Harley. 👍
Nice ride, enjoyed it
Different bike, different engine, but . . . that sound. 30 yrs ago I ran around on a shop bike for a couple of months, a late five speed shovel FXRS, it ran & sounded just the same as yours does now - except for having TQF in it's gear bag!
Loved that bike, they then swapped it for a WG that needed work & fettling; having finally got that sorted, I rode back down to find that Simon had sold the RS to a punter!
In a fit of pique, I grabbed an 883 with burnt out wiring, hot wired it with cooker cable & thrashed the living daylights out of it all the way back to Newark - the blasted thing took it all & never missed a beat . . .
Months later, after fitting a brand new loom & mucho fettling, that one went back too, & was immediately sold to some yuppie, who then wrote it off the next day by trying to park under a Routemaster . . . the real sad part is, he limped away with cuts & bruises.
Bikes are like aircraft, the biggest danger to their welfare is usually their owners. Have a great w/e : ) x
Fantastic stories there buddy, and you're right, Harley's are a commitment, not a convenience, you need to want one to put up with their foibles! Have a great weekend, enjoy that sunshine... D&Px
Love it, I felt like I was riding with you in that ! 😎
I'm sure I recognised some of those roads ... cool beans 😊
Hey hun, reckon we should ride them then..., maybe not ZigZag lol ...unless you're up for it, there's a 100miles of lovelliness out there and Sunday's coming..... xx
Now that some time and miles have passed have you noticed any more differences?
I saw a different video of you recommending Amsoil. Is that still your preferred and why? Or is there something else I should watch where you go through it.
Cheers. All the best. 😊
Nice to see the results from the test, nice also seeing the roads near my old Regimental HQ at Bovington. I got similar results changing to specific oils in my 2016 Roadglide, except the valve train on mine was much quieter after the change (to Spectro in my case). I upgraded the primary tensioner and that, coupled with specific oil made it run much quieter too. Enjoyed the vid. Rod
Hi Rod, am glad you enjoyed it, have a great Sunday Sir!
Love the vlog del .. bike sounds amazing .. I enjoy your bike rides and the f@@k right off vlogs you did .. keep the epic channel going mate it's all ways appreciated the hard work you put in
Thanks Steven, really appreciate that, it was a wonderful day out and a fabulous ride!
No need for chat when you're riding a Harley with scenery like that. Bike sounds sweet.
Absolutely mate, was just happy to let the engine do the talking!
See the Project Farm videos for oil testing, he had Amsoil in first place and Pennzoil in second place. I go to Walmart and buy half 10w-40 Valvoline regular motorcycle oil, and half Valvoline 20w-50 full synthetic motorcycle oil for my 2 Japanese motorcycles. The regular oil makes the clutches feel firmer with less slip, and the synthetic oil makes the shifting feel smoother. There is a Project Farm video where he tested mixing a crazy number of oils that no one would ever do, and it tested fine.
Few twisties there mate and the bike sounds fantastic
I've done lots of 3 hole changes for myself and friends and I can definitely say I notice more metal shavings in the drain plugs of the primary and trans with Syn3 vs a heavy gear oil. I'll never use Syn3 for those two.
I switched to Amsoil Primary in my Sportster and I definitely noticed a positive difference. So much better, and in the spring Amsoil is going in the engine.
I've been using Amsoil 20W/50 in my Sportster's primary for years with ZERO problems and never a missed shift in my 2005 straight-cut gear tranny. I removed my "grenade" spring plate and replaced it with the 3 stock plates that should have been in there and I've never heard the "chirp" that other riders say they have with other brands of oil. When I replace it at 5K intervals, it is clean and has no foul odor. Like they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Needless to say, it is also in my engine.
Lovely ride.
I'll ask the first dumb question. Could you please list the 3 oil locations and what oil you put in them? I have a 2006 Heritage Softail Classic and I'm tire of spending half a paycheck to change the oils.
Keep the videos coming!
Check out the playlists on the channel mate, lots of detailed tutorials on there to help you.
good to see you riding again. love the bike. the colour pops
Thanks 👍 buddy, was a great day out!
Those are the same 3 I use. .
But redline transmission oil is supposed to be even better " for the gearbox. . Cheers
Interesting results as a Harley rider. Also excellent shirt choice. Got one and loved it in the recent hot weather
Great video Del, magic country side. Going to have to get back home one day and check them roads. For me it's Amsoil all the way. I agree with you 100% about the gearbox oil, it's night and day. Penny and you have a relaxing weekend, hope things are getting better over there. Cheers
Thanks buddy, it was a great day out on the bike, and good to be able to express the comparisons, it'll hopefully help a few other people make a choice. Enjoy your weekend too, and take care.. D&Pxx
Seeing such precise work done gives me the fizz. 👍
Excellent ride. Beautiful area 👍👍
Thank you Sir, we're priviledged to live in a beautiful place.
Exellent vidio mate... 3 is definitely better than one, no question. Magic ride out too. Thanks for sharing. We'll done. 👍🇬🇧🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks Peter,👍 Glad you enjoyed it.
Using Redline engine and gear oil now. Was using Mobil 1 in all three. Man what what a difference. Absolutely no valve train noise and easy shifts. But its expensive 😫
Proper thick gear oil if any kind is always better then engine oil.. ! Good choice.
on my 2018 i use the SE syn3 oil for all holes. i did replace the oil pump on my bike though when i did the stage 2 and got the 2020 new pump. it does a better on scavenging etc. so far i love the bike. great video man.
(P) Oh how I miss those country roads! 😥 I bet it was nice to get out and clear your head 😎 enjoy the ☀️
Sure was mate, missed so many miles this year, but damn as hell gonna sure catch up before Christmas! Hope you're all well there, and work is going fine, D&Px
Piękne okolice do spacerowania na Harleyu .Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję Tomasz, dziękuję za oglądanie!
Frickin hell, you live in a beautiful country. That bridge! She’s a beaut.
Lol at the cyclist. He likely filled his britches at that rev as you passed him. 🤣
Thank you so much Sir, we do appreciate our beautiful surroundings, and we never need to go on vacation, we have it all right here. That bridge is called "Crawford Bridge", built in the 15th century. and way more beautiful from the river bank than riding over it.. Here's a side view if you enjoy quaint buildings, they're all over the county of Dorset where we live. thedorsetrambler.com/2019/03/26/crawford-bridge-spetisbury/ Thank you for your kind support, and take care.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for posting that link. So pretty!
I'm still in awe of the area you live in and what an incredible day you had for it. Can I ask what the brand of riding shirt is please?
Hi mate, the brand of the shirt is LM Merlin, protective with an Aramid lining, but not windproof so only good for a warm fine day!
@@Moonfleet41Thanks for replying Del.
Beautiful scenery - lots of similar views on the East coast, stateside. For a 20 year bike, she is in wonderful condition! Thank you for sharing the ride and the analysis - good info! EW :)
Glad you enjoyed it Ernst, thank you so much for your kind feedback, I would love to ride where you are!
some lovely scenery there Del
Cheers buddy, good to hear from you again... hope life is good where you are!
Hot today as well! Great ride as ever. Lovely stuff. What happened to FROs? maybe there's nothing to rant about at the moment 😁 be well 👍
Oh believe me mate, there's plenty, but it's wasted breath aye?!
@@Moonfleet41 bit of fun. 😁
Lovely ride brother . Somewhere I have a picture of a cow under that bridge drinking...an actual photo like in the olden days 👍🏻☮❤peace and love to you and Penny..👍🏻☮❤
ps the bandit is sounding gnarly as fook with the baffle in on the lextek..deep and loud ...strangely sounds pants with baffle out !! whilst under extreme holliganage...oops !! 😎
Lextek?, glorious system, same as on the Busa, and with an open megaphone on the end of it, it does sound insane! And I have to agree on the baffle, if I run my Lextek open on the Busa, it somehow sounds hollow and a little empty, but with the baffle in, it's still way loud, but at the same time a glorious tone... keep the hooligan alight, and remember, Bandit's are made from GSXR's, so that's hooligan DNA you have there! Enjoy your Sunday Brother, peas & loaf, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41
yes exactly ..sounds glorious baffle in. And a hollow cackle without ..i was privileged to help lextek redesign the full system on the 1200 mk1 . After I fitted their 1st ever 1200 system .. They had test fitted and sold many 600 s but never a 12..
The newly available 1200 system has my mods incorporated.. I'm very proud and very happy they were so helpful and accommodating.
Amazing what can come of a phone call to the distributor .. 👍🏻☮❤🤓
@@springy-2112 Blimey, you dark horse, that's awesome... and what an honour to be involved with development and, of course, how fantastic that a company can take design advice and grass roots experience from us ordinary bikers out on the road! Just exactly how it should be (not suggesting in any way, that you're an ordinary biker, just a turn of phrase dear!), peas and loaf, D&Px
I bought Amsoil engine , gearbox , and primary for my 2008 Dyna Low Rider with 33,000 miles on it. Have not installed it yet. I was reading on V twin web sites that the engine ran cooler and the trans shifted better. I am putting a X-Pipe on my 2017 Triumph today and tomorrow. I will let you know how I feel about my Dyna after I add the Amsoil and put 500 or so miles on it. Like you I have been running Syn 3 since 2009. Take care, ride safe.
Great to hear from you Sir, and you're gonna love the Amsoil... the moment you select 1st gear, you'll see the difference! Have fun with the X pipe, that'll pep it up no end... let us know how you get on, will look forward to hearing from you!
you look like you really enjoyed that wee run del and why not m8 stunning countryside love the wee country lanes atb m8 iain
Glad you enjoyed it Iain, it was a fabulous day out, and i could have turned round and done it again in reverse.. Enjoy your weekend buddy, and thanks for your support.. D&Pxx
As you know i have an FXR 1989 and love her to bits , when i first bought her i was advised by an old skool bloke in his shed that just use 1 oil as bike will be used to it , hence i did anyways long story short i met quite a few fxr owners on forums and bike meets and one guy in particular who lives not to far from me said that if i put in the right oil in the right part of the bike i would notice the difference, i was a bit apprehensive but he assured me that it would make a difference so i bit the bullett and changed them ,yes it was more expensive but what a difference it has made she runs smoother ,gear change is slicker and not the clunk i was used to and all in all a better bike , we have now become really good friends and ride together when we can ,
Hi Mike, thank you for sharing your story, what a wonderful way to gain a true friend... and glad you found the right balance for your oils with your bike!
Dont know where you live, but it is beautiful. Great video sir. Amsoil is a great product, and have it in my M8 softail. Gonna try Motul synthetic, and see how it is.
Thank you Rene, we live in North Dorset, a county on the south coast of England, and we're very happy to live here in such a beautiful place.. I was really happy with thew Amsoil, and still using it now, not just a great product but a great company to deal with too. !
Sounds lovely and you live in a lovely part of the country looks like Wiltshire
North Dorset, and we often cross in to Wiltshire, it's all the same geography, thank you for noticing!
@@Moonfleet41 I live in Wiltshire and sometimes get down your end you have some great roads
Can’t comment on the oil but the ride was very nicely shot with great sound too. Still investing in cameras to do this as well as I’d like. 👍
(P) nice one Del, that was so relaxing, i kind of forgot it was a motorbike vid. I dont ride a HD, but that sounded awesome. I will say, every bike type has its uniform, the Helmet was wrong lol. All the best matey, love to you and Penn.
Sure thing mate, felt quite conspicious actually, but only the Aria carries the camera so well! Normally an open face on the Harley, specially this time of year and if it's cold, two scarves! But needs must, the video was more important on this occasion, Hope you're keeping well there, D&Px
Absolute legend love your videos
Put amsoil gear oil in my 07 cvo.. noticed that much smoother shift right away.. I did all 3 holes with Asoil.. Think ill keep it that way now
Nice sunny ride,keep the faith❤️
Lovely sounds on the County Roads Del.
Thought I recognised those roads mate, love Dorset. Great video. ✌️🇬🇧
Great video
I use Harley Davidson's Screaming Eagle SYN3 synthetic 20W50 oil 👌🏽
She sounds sweet mate. Great when the planets align resulting in a perfect day to ride. RSMB.
Too right Brother, we get about half a dozen a year like this don't ya reckon and it's rude not to make use of them in the right way!
super helpfull. thanks for the info
I have a 06 fxsti,use mobil 1 synthetic v twin oil in the engine and primary,and spectro synthetic in the gearbox.had the bike 8 years and never a problem.apart from the price of the said oils.
Nice vid mate. I'll hopefully be moving up from a 125cc very soon and cruisers appeal to me but I was concerned about the practicality, handling etc. on these sort of rides. This has reassured me.
Hi mate, first of all, congratulations on moving up from a learner bike, if you think about it, bikes can be grouped in to 4 categories, cruisers, sports, adventure and nakeds... and if you can get yourself a test ride on a few bikes, you'll know instantly what you feel happiest on! So go chat with a few dealers and enjoy the process buddy, have fun, let us know how you get on!
Some days are just 👌perfect👌 for spending time on the bike. FoXDoG sounds like it running sweeeeet.
You got that right!
I Love that sound😉😋😋
Love the ride and the country going past. Beautiful blue sky.. Sigh..
The houses that are on the road edge freak me out somewhat though..
Thanks for the ride 👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Sceptical. Advertising bonus for Del Maybe??
Nice ride, great filming. I've always thought it better to use the separate oils. Bike sounds good. Cheers.
BelRay is readily available for me, same results as you in my 2004 Sportster. My M8 FXLR, having been under warranty, I cannot do own service in Australia and maintain warranty, so the Dealer, of course, uses Syn 3. As such, I cannot compare just yet.
Great ride, I enjoyed that lot, certainly is some low end grunt there. Very useful info for Harley riders, thanks :)
Its good to get out on the bike.
A non bike question. What did you use to record the sound? Which sounded ace by the way, was it a separate mic or from the cameras.
It was a separate mic, as the sound recorded on the GoPro is very limited, use a Zoom H2n and to keep it out of the wind rush, tuck it in the back of my shirt, so it's effectively sitting on the pillion seat behind me...!
Would syn3 cause the clutch to slip on a stage 2 114, making 120hp, 130 ft-lb?
As Syn3 is Harley Davidson's 'recommended' high performance alternative oil, then i can't see that it would, but once you venture into high performance applications of any kind you begin to step close to, and outside the performance limits of any component, including your oils. i now use Amsoil dedicated Primary fluid in my bikes, and my 114 Street Glide has no problems with it at all (although it's factory stock right now), i get slick changes and a crisp bite to the clutch under even the hardest launches... Although your bike now has more power and torque, those figures are still modest compared to some, so i would try it, feel for any revs rising under load, and if you experience any slip, that it's the next upgrade in your tuning journey, maybe swap to Amsoil, or consider actually beefing up the clutch as most guys do with the 131 kit.! Hope that helps.. Happy Holidays.. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you so much!
Great vid as always,I'm not a fan of amsoil,when I used it for the engine oil change on my 06 1450 softail it made the engine sound like it had a bag of ball bearings rattling around inside it,went back to harley oil quietend it right down,All the best,ride safe
Interesting result, thanks for sharing, i found the same result, but with the oils the other way round.. specially the gearbox oil.!!
Great video stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
