Victtor,
Yes, these engines are louder than others; especially Japanese.
These engines are a 1930's technology, they are going to "talk". Some folks have had some positive results with different oil, some never will. The problem is that sound is so horribly subjective, that there is no answer.

Are the 110"s junk? No.

You want to stay with a full synthetic. There are many options outside of the SYN3 one. It may be worth your while to take the bike to a shop (indy or HD) and have them take a listen, see if things seem out of the normal range.
