Absolutely! As great as Amsoil is Mobil 1 15-50 is not far behind. I get it at Walmart for $6/qt.

Matinees- Been using it in my 2004 Sporty for a few years now with no problem. Easy to find. Bike runs a bit cooler than it did when I was using the HD 20-50. Works good on those below freezing mornings. Guess it does the job it was intended to do.

Thumbs up MOBIL-1 15w50

Rated #1 out of 11 oils in Donnie's AIM article awhile back...and available virtually anywhere CHEAPER than others.
