- Try and find out who makes HD oil and buy it from them before HD puts
- its label on. BMW oil is made by Spectro (non-synthetic). At the BMW
- shop with the BMW label it costs a bit more than at a generic
- motorcycle parts store with the Spectro label. It's very good oil, by
- the way, and since the BMW (twins) have similar engines to the Harleys
- (and a dry clutch) it probably would work well in your hawg. The
- stuff called Golden Spectro is synthetic; the regular Spectro is not.
