I turn the bike upside down and siphon the oil out with a turkey baster.

Agreed. If you have trouble finding the filter, most Honda filters for gold wings, VTX, and valkyries will workShould be a chrome cover to protect a standard spin on filter like below
Anthing else is after market. As for oil I would run mobile 2v4rt 15w50 as the transmission seems to like it. There are many good oils out there. Rotella well if I had dome I would use it to start the burn pile.

Since your in the USA Penrite would have to be imported. If mine were stock and I wanted to try something other then the mobile 1 I would lean towards AMS oil 20w50 motorcycle oil, Red Line 20w50 motorcycle or Motul 300V 15w50 motorcycle grades all are Ester oils. But this is just my opinion.
