Very nice stuff! When I first saw the picture it threw me off because of the color. There is a yellow Kingpin running around this site that looks similar minus the fairing and backrest! But I have always liked the Hammer better. That new seat is going to look very nice on.

That's funny! @Jerzeyguy We are sort of a Spectro Golden house around these here parts! :biggrin: There are a few of us that run that stuff and swear by it. For whatever reason (all in good fun) it became a thing! You know how oil threads can get! So Spectro Golden 20W40 Semi Syn for Victory Motorcycles is the stuff. Don't think I have heard of anyone running "The Purple".

Why is that ?
Wrong oil brother. Send it back. Here's why.
One fine day a RP rep visited Kevin at Southern Motorworx wanting him to try RP motorcycle oil. No doubt good oil. If I remember the story correctly Kevin showed the nice man a Victory clutch and after a careful look at the materials used it was understood why Victory recommended semi synthetic oil for their bikes. The rep concluded it would be best if you didn't use our oil.
Now I have personally used Amsoil 10/40 and 20/40 motorcycle oil. Both JASO MA /MA2 rated with no issues for over 20k miles until that one fine day when a little slippage was present while loaded down and 2 up.
So haling from Brookfield Ct where Spectro motorcycle oils are made and finding that our top tier tuners also recommended (the made for Victory) 20/40 semi synthetic blend I took the advise to get out of the full synthetic world. But only for my Victory bikes. Full synthetic in everything else.
Regarding these finicky STOCK clutches it's not a matter of IF but more a matter of WHEN
it starts slipping.

Thank you for a intelligent, straight answer,
I'm honestly going to reconsider..
But I wouldn't run spectro in anything I own
so run semi vs full?
Clutch reasons only?

Now I would like an intelligent straight answer. Why wouldn't you run Spectro in anything you own ?

Over many years and many different
Air cooled twins ...
I've tried alot of different oils ...
My favorite is motul, then Rp on occasion I've run Lucas with no issues....
Didn't like amsoil / mobil 1 / spectro
Didn't like the way the sounded ..
Or the way they ran ... Just my opinion
