[QUOTE=Nameless.;7728521]Have any of you guys ran 100 octane on your softails FI or Carb'd models? if so did you feel/see any diffrance in performance/gas mileage? I ran some VP100 in my 08 Audi RS4 and had to replace all my 02sensors, That sh*t was not cool...
If one tank in your Audi fouled your sensors, why are they selling 100? What are you supposed to use it in?

A bike without a custom tune has a 50/50 shot at running better with higher octane, depending on how close their standard ECM map is.

You are not going to run any better, and probably worse. If you haven't increased your compression considerably you are just throwing away money. Higher octane does not in itself increase performance, it slows the fuel burn to reduce pre-detonation in higher compression engines. I run SONOCO 110 in my snowmobile (50/50 with 93) with 14:1 heads (leaded). That is what the higher octane is designed for, not your daily driver. Google and decide for yourself, but I wouldn't do it.

I could indeed tune it to benefit from the higher octane.
But I ride the bike, not trailer it to the drag strip. I don't wanna pay for high octane and then ride where there is none available.
