Guys, I have the manual for the MY99 (even the original sales brouchure) 
and it doesn't say a specific oil, it gives a temperature chart and the range of viscosities appropriate for temp ranges. 5w 30 would seem most appropriate for very cold environments. The manual does say that 5W 30 Is NOT suitable for sustaned high speed driving. a 10w 30 or 10w 40 appear to be the grades most suitable for the chart presented given the UKs typical temp range. It then goes on to say that a 10/50 should be used for demanding conditions, in high temps etc...
I wouldn't use a 5w 30 oil on my Classic.

Oilman sells a good range, as does ASperformance and many others.
Been running MY99 on 10w50 for many years without problems.
