The other option was the V-Twin 20W-50 intended for Harley's.

It certainly is easier to get up here in the far, icy north...but again, as always, do what floats your boat and not your valves.

Hi Dennis:

Can you post where you saw the tech data? I know the markets data shows this but there PDS sheets appear to lack this data. As I have noted before, this makes me suspicious.
