    Just became a Buell owner and have a couple of questions

    Hey everyone, my name is Dave and I just picked up a 2003 Firebolt as a second bike. I'm enjoying the heck out of it! My other bike is a 2004 Nite Train FXSTB. First of all, is there anyone on here in the Louisville, KY area? Second of all, I have scoured this forum and have a question about primary oil. I have seen all of the different arguments about the different brands and everything else. I'm a RedLine guy and will use the 20w50 in the swingarm. But for the primary, should I use the RedLine V-Twin Transmission Oil with Shockproof or the 80w Motorcycle Gear Oil with Shockproof?

    and then the RedLine rep tells me 75w90 gear oil is what I should use.

    I use redline 20w-60 HD in both holes while the weather is hot and have never had any problems with it. I'm curious as to why they told you 75w-90 gear oil. I'm sure someone else might give their two cents on that.
