Motorcycles also per there website, no friction modifires, safe for wet clutch. Im focused on rings, and getting liner hone correct.

@leatal i went with this break in oil because no friction modifiers, for several reasons, the hone and ring seal, is the most important, the weather was a thought as its gonna be cold, very cold and the bike will be in a truck with outside temperatures, im only using this Amsoil for dyno and its getting changed out as soon as it gets home from hell week, and the clutch pack came in this engine and looked good so i put it back in, knowing I would be changing out to new pack once build oils, break in oils and tune were done. Were hoping to go to the mile in May and didnt want to take a chance on a slipping clutch because of, cam lubes, break in oils. I would use motul break in 10w40 if I wasnt changing clutch and it wasnt so cold. Wanted to clarify as i cant find the amsoil motorcycle safe statement. But im certain i saw it, no friction modifiers was the key for me. Motul would be very safe for clutch.

Personally I would love to see a Rocket 3 in a true motorcycle configuration (not a streamliner) hit 200 mph. I'm gutted we didn't accomplish it but if Kevin or someone else gives it a shot I'll show up to support them.
We know horsepower, torque and gearing aren't insurmountable obstacles but handling and aerodynamics can be a little sketchy. We know finding someone willing to take the wild ride isn't a problem either.
My philosophy comes from an very old movie "the best of life is nearest to the edge of death there is nothing wrong with suffering if you suffer for a purpose because it simply makes the danger of death worthwhile". I want to live life to the best effect, dragging out life to the last possible second isn't living life to the best effect.
