Just read the updated alt. parts list. Thanks for that.
Subject, engine oil.
Which one?

After searching online for V-Twin motorcycle oil, a whole world of results present themselves.
These are all V-Twin spec oils;
Putoline,
Royal purple,
Mobil 1,
Castrol power 1,
Motul 7100,
Bel-ray,
Klotz(really),
Redline 42504,
Tribodyn,
Can-am 779462,
Amsoil,
Silkoline,
Maxima Maxum 4 semi-synthetic engine oil,
PennGrade 1® V-Twin.

The reason i ask is that my cars final destination is Malaysia, the ave. day time temp is 90deg.
Not all oils are available here.
There is one that i have never heard of and that is Rock oil, made in the UK since 1928.

So the question is, which one?

I wouldn't sweat this one. Go with any decent brand 20-50w oil specified for air cooled motorcycle engines. One of them should be available most anywhere.

I would second that sentiment. Mobile 1 might be the least costly.

I currently use S&S oil but Royal Purple is usually on the shelf locally where Mobile 1 tends to sell out fast.

You can add Valvoline VR1 Racing to the list which is a Dino car oil but is popular with the air cooled v twin gang.
If it’s hot go with a synthetic as it’s supposed to stay in grade better at high temps.

Red Line is also a good option

Agreed. My first post on this thread was an attempt to head it off at the pass. Not sure I succeeded.
