I know this will probably get alot of different opinions, but I am going to ask. What grade fuel should I be using in my cruiser? I live in Cali and we have either 87, 89, or 91 octane (no 93 here). I have installed V&H cruzers pipes, a hypercharger, and the cobra Fi2000 fuel processor,. Is there any benefit on a cruiser to spend the extra cash on the 91, or will the 87 be fine? It's not a sportbike and I do not plan on driving it like one. Just want to know if there is a difference in as far as if it is bad for the bike to run the lower octane gas. Please help.
