In as much as Harley has discontinued Sport Trans Fluid and it's now an obsolete part number I think the only HD product out there is Formula+ for your use.

Primary on a harley?
Yes, Harleys have primaries...
Is the engine oil and the transmission oil fed from the same tank not refering to the clutch-primary oil?
No, the engine oil and trans oil are not fed from the same tank on H.D. bikes. Engine oil is separate, from the primary drive chain on 4 speed big twins, the transmission oil is also separate. Sportster engines have separate engine oil and their transmissions share primary case oil with the wet clutch. 5 speed models wet clutch models have separate primary case lube, transmission lube and engine oil. As far as my memory serves, no Harley Davidsons have shared engine oil and transmission oil similar to some Jap bikes

Where do you add oil to transmission in a Harley Sportster?
You don't, it uses the same oil as the engine. WHOA! do NOT go by that last answer somebody left. Japanese bikes share the same oil in the engine and transmission. Harleys do NOT share engine oil with the transmission. Tranny oil must be checked and changed separately than from the engine. You must open the derby cover over the clutch to check and add transmission oil on a newer Sportster. Older Ironhead Sportsters have an inspection plug on the primary. have someone hold the bike straight up, you will get a false level on the kickstand. It uses 20-50wt motor oil OR HD primary oil. There's also a chain inside that primary that has to be adjusted regularly. Get a factory service manual.
