Just some info that AMSOIL put out on their motorcycle oil.  They put a bike on the dyno and ran it hard to see how AMSOIL would do.

I inquired at a local bike shop that stocks Amsoil.  He also keeps Harley brand on hand for those customers who insist on oem branded oil.  He estimated that 9 out of every 10 of his Harley customers run Amsoil.  Amsoil it will be!!

Sign up online to buy Amsoil. $20 a year.

Cheaper most likely than buying at HD dealer.

Spend a $100 free shipping.

I love shopping for an item after I've purchased the same item.  I stopped in at my neighbourhood auto store (Canadian Tire) on my way home from the motorsports store and found they sold Red Line for about what I just paid for the Amsoil and they were selling their K & N filters for $5 less.  Next time...….

I have an Interstate in my 2005 FLH that replaced the OEM after four years. Just died. I'll be repeating. 

I installed the Interstate on Friday and it was an very, very tight fit.  I was worried that this would be a problem in the future so I removed it on Saturday to be sure it could be done!  It is not as easy as oem to re & re but it does fit.

F.W.I.W.  Harley batteries are made by DEKA (East Penn). A DEKA branded battery is essentially a factory Harley battery, only less expensive. I have a Screamin' Eagle Ultra with the 110 inch engine and the DEKA battery spins it very well. I also run Red Line oil in the bike.

Usually, I noticed that motorcyclists prefer AGM batteries for Harley. I would suggest to go with Throttlex batteries. These are not only AGM ones but also consider a fine alternate of original Harley batteries. However, they are preferred for 1997 to 2016 motorcycle models. You can see more details about fine motorcycle batteries from here https://motoprove.com/best-motorcycle-battery. Withal, its your responsibility to check which battery meets also of your required specifications.

 

I am also a big fan of Chrome battery and it could also be a good fit for Harley motorbikes. It comes with digital display and yes you can safely mount it at any position. Hopefully, you will go with the best option.

    • Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart? 
    • Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.
    • Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue. 
    • I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
    • Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.
