Hey everyone,
I have pretty much finished my mods on the PS Cruiser.
I added Ron's clutch roller...works nicely.

Trimmed the rear fender to avoid any chain issues.

Installed the #41 chain and managed to get the slack out so no tension arm needed. Along with upgrading the seat and alloy pedals.

Now I am struggling with the oil mix. I have read hundreds of posts here regarding oil mix and I am more confused than when I started. I ran 16:1 for the first tank and leaned it down to 30:1. Now it runs and idles much nicer but after riding on the weekend with the 105 heat I must say the motor was pretty hot.
Oh BTW I have now officially branded my left leg with about 6 motor fin marks so I have been initiated. I know people here suggest wearing long pants but that is just not an option when it is 105 degrees.
So the questions I have, and as I said I know there are hundreds of posts regarding oil. What kind of oil should I use? I am thinking of changing to Royal Purple Synthetic, and what ratio do I need to maintain in this heat to keep the thing functioning properly and healthy?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am brand new to this stuff.
