Default RE: Fuel additives?

I use seafoam (red/white metal can) in my 96 F-150. I always run 89 octane in my truck and occasionally 93 if it's all I can get. My fuel injected 302 v8 seems to do well when I run the stuff through the tank and the occasional cleaning through the vac lines straight into intake manifold for a top cylinder cleaner.

I would assume it would do the same for cleaning a bike's engine. I know a lot of truck guys and farmers with old tractors swear by the stuff and I've had great luck with it. But I guess it's not as needed for a bike that always gets 93 octane that pretty much comes with additives already mixed in.

I have a 97 wide glide with a 95 inch stroker motor in it. 10:1 comp, HI-PO heads,.600 cam, etc. I do add an additive and it works well for me. I run 93 octane plus a booster called rocket fuel, not sure who makes it but you can do a search for it. It definitly makes a difference in my motor, I guess it kind of depends what you have inside yours as to how it will increase performance.
