Im posting something I know Im going to get a LOT of crap for but its something that has made a good difference on my H2
Recently I changed the the gear oil in the H2 it was shifting a bit hard, clutch not so great, just time, didn't change it last year at all, it was time.
I had just bought some 75w-140 LS Moblie 1 synthetic for my 91 Electro glide on recommendation and sure enough it was night and day shifting it.
So I thought why not try it in the H2 :think:
I know just changing the gear oil it will make a good difference but this much better than that.
Shifting is the smoothest I have ever had on it, the clutch always was just a touch sticking at stops, thats gone, it nearly sneaks into gear, It always shifted well but this is better.
I know the thickness and all the jazz about synthetic but so far I love it.
Was running simple 75-90 valvoline gear oil , I will now stick with this.

Just thought I would share and see the reaction :D

I've been using Castrol MTX 75W140 over a decade now. All positive except the price.
