Should have no problems...The 'cycle' designated oil is fine for the wet clutch.  Don't use the car variety, or anything that ever says 'energy conserving' on the SAE label.  Rotella makes a good, cheap syntehtic that works well with a wet clutch.  The concern with syn vs conv in older motors can be seals...That being that some of the seals won't like the new syn.  I've read in some other places that these old honda motors don't really have a problem in that dept.
