So far as changing to Mobil 1, I thought I'd give it a shot since I was already on a motorcycle-specific pure synthetic. If I were experiencing slippage with dino juice, I wouldn't even consider it. If it doesn't make a big difference (and at this point I'm hopeful but doubtful), I'll replace the springs. In fact, I'm almost inclined to replace them anyway since they're not expensive. So far as mods go, I'd agree that some would make slippage more noticeable. Specifically the Amal carb not being a CV delivers nearly instant response as opposed to the sloped increase with the stock BS40.
And TC...
Yes, dinosaur juice would be non-synthetic. You can go back if you want to, though it'll probably take 1 or 2 changes to fully flush all of the old. In the hotter climes, I'm pretty much sold on synthetic as long as I don't encounter any intractable leaks. I know some HD guys who hate synthetic because it finds and exploits any leak points. I have not had any trouble with that though... other than the notorious plug leak (now fixed) and a bolt that needed torquing.
