HD Formula-Plus buy online?
Dumb question but last Time I bought some HD Formula-+ for my 1977 sportster, I was able to get it online. Now I can't. Any thoughts on where I can? And if not, what should I switch to? I really really really don't want to travel to a Harley dealership for a little oil.

Try Suredike, Ronnie or Castle H-D for online shipping.

Nowadays you can only get Formula+ at the dealership. It’s inconvenient as hell. It’s what works best for me so I keep a running stock. I’ve also used Spectro without issue. Not a fan of the all in one engine oil/primary chain case options, never worked well for me.

Corporate came down hard on the discount online retailers, SUCKS.
Placed an order with Surdyke and it got cancelled because I’m outside their dealer territory. NewCastle is no more, etc. |

Really irritating. In an age when you can get literally anything delivered to your door (including other HD motor oil), why they have to put this under lock and key at the back of a HD dealership is beyond me. Do they think I'm going to pick up some branded crap as I walk back to the service desk?

I have to drive about 45 miles to the nearest H-D dealer but I buy my 50W oil and Formula+ by the case so I only have to make the trip every few years.
Where are you located? Perhaps someone can pick up some oil for you as they pass by.

Yes, you got it right, go there for 15$ oil bottle and go out with on sale t-shirt; 2 medium for 85$.
They only accept 100$ bill and no change in the cash. |

They should offer to send the oil with the purchase of every t-shirt online, like a drink minimum.
