Just moved from Jersey to the Tampa area. Used to run Red Line 20W50 synthetic in Jersey and wondered if I should switch to 20W60 now that I’m in FLorida. Riding a 2021 Tri Glide.

Not sure how long you have been living there north of Tampa, but if you want a nice ride to a "Florida style" unique biker bar try visiting Herb's Limestone Country Club, 5127 C. County Road 663, Ona, FL 33865. It will be about 100 miles or so from where you are.
We have been riding there for years and it is a hoot.
I use syn 20-50 in the summer and 10-40 in the winter (I ride all winter here in Chicago). I have used motorcycle specific oils like Mobil1, Amsoil, BelRay, Valvoline, Castrol (never H-D Syn3). I have NEVER had an oil related problem in over 40 years....62 years if you also count all my UJM's.
I've never had a problem getting oil when I needed it. Usually I always buy oil by the case (normally when it's on sale) so that I will NEVER run out of oil.
Same here. Just got a case of Redline 20-50 in yesterday. Over the next few months I'll be riding in 100 degrees and in 40 degrees...maybe even thru some snow on Beartooth Pass in a few months.

What month would you be up there in the north Kevin. We are still fine tuning our "limited" western travels for this year. Sometime in August we are hitting Wyoming, Montana, and the Dakotas, just not sure what order and for how long. Been through the Cody area but never ridden the pass.
We have not nailed down the exact dates, probably sometime late June thru middle of July will be visiting family in Idaho and Montana, then heading over to Yellowstone/Beartooth.
Beartooth pass is just a fantastic ride...the road is great and the views are hard to beat.
I believe the only months we have been thru there are June and July, here are a couple of photos-
