I need to know whats the best type of oil to use
G'day.
If the previous owner used full synthetic oil then I recomend you do so too.
As a general rule it is not recomended to mix synthetic & mineral oils together.
Also as a general rule-most synthetic oils are of a higher quality & performance over mineral or semi synthetic oils.
You technicaly can use a non synthetic oil, but you would need to drain it all & also replace the oil filter,before re-filling with mineral or semi synthetic oil.
Hope this helps.

The best thing to do is to wire a relay directly to the battery. Wire it also to the ignition wire so the relay engages only when the bike is started (or with the accessory). Additionally you can install a wiring block somewhere inside the batwing in case you want to add something later. Be sure to use the appropriate gauge wiring for the load. You can get the relay (about $10.) from Autozone or Pep Boys, and a wiring block (about $7) from Radio Shack. The instructions on wiring the relay are on the package.
I did this on my Electraglide and it works great. Future additional electric devices will be wired to the block and the cables hidden.

You are dealing with rust or dirt in your master cylinder. When you look into the reservoir or top of the cylinder you will see a large feeder hole where the DOT 3/4 brake fluid feeds the piston of the master cylinder. You probably did not notice that there was a tiny pin hole right next to the large feeder hole. This pin hole allows fluid to return to the reservoir. When it is plugged pressure builds up in the brake system until the wheel stops turning. If you open the brake bleeder screw the pressure will be released and you will be able to drive most of the way home before the wheel locks up again. Take a fine piece of wire ( one piece of wire cut from a wire brush will do) and open the pin hole back up and your brakes should work correctly again.
