Nice ride. You may want to lower your headlight.

Mobil one is ok. 100 different opinions on oil. A lot use f-type transmission oil in their primaries too. Cheaper than "primary lube"

1 More question or i guess a confirmation ,Big Dog say NO SYNTHETIC in their brochure but S&S says basically pick synthetic or regular but stick with your choice,I tend to take S&S advice a little more than BD or am I out of line. I use synthetic,mobil1

At the time that the manual for BD was written, S&S also said no synthetic.
It's all about who they have a deal with -- as long as the oil meets the spec it's ok to use.
Synthetic is going to be the best especially right after break in
An engine that has been run on normal oil for extended period may be servered better by a blend of synthetic and conventional.

When I converted my first evo bike to synthentic I can FEEL the temperature drop.
Synthetic also has a higher break down temperature that is very usefull for those of us that get stuck in traffic in the south.

A little sidebar, don't use synthetic in the primary. It makes the clutch slip. Plus, make it only 20oz instead of 32oz. It causes too much pressure and forces fluid through the seal into the starter.

Ill keep my opinion of bdm to myself. Look at which company has lasted through the years.
