Default Lucas Oil Deep Clean Fuel System Cleaner

Has anybody used Lucas Oil Deep Clean Fuel System Cleaner in a harley? After being parked a lot during the winner, I like to pour some Seafoam in the gas a few times to clean things up and getting it starting and running a little smoother. But I put some Lucas Fuel System Cleaner in my fuel injected Nissan Titan and it seems to have started helping the idle and throttle response, so I was thinking about trying it in my Softail and my wife;'s Sportster.


Anybody know of any likely harm from using this stuff in a carb'ed Harley?

Over 100,000 miles and never put in any additives and the bike still runs just fine.

I think we spend money on stuff that we think makes our stuff run better, ( that's what marketers do,) but in reality it just makes us feel better.

Our bikes/cars couldn't care less.

Did you put some sort of fuel stabilizer in it before winter storage? If so, I wouldn't think you would need anything else. I also think if it makes you feel better, it won't hurt anything.

Sometimes I really do wonder about that too...
Wish I could just ASK my damn bike if it likes it or not ;-)

Ethanol in the fuel keeps everything pretty clean but if it makes you feel better I'm sure it won't hurt
