Quite a few of us Westcoast Vincent owners have been using Valvoline Vr1 racing oil for many years now. It was a good choice but it now offers even greater wear protection.
This is the conventional, not the synthetic VR1. The synthetic VR1 did not test well in scar testing.

It's in use in the UK too - when I bought a T150 a few years ago, I learned they were very hard on oil. I fitted a pressure gauge; with an ordinary 20/50, on a run the pressure dropped rapidly over 20 miles. Swapped to VR1 and it now holds factory pressure the whole run.
There's VR1 in my B twin, no contest. ( despite the price ! ).

Been using this for few years thanks to Mighty Garage Mike who turned me on to it.
Great stuff.
Zinc is good for the older internals I hear.
