It's readily available around here , but about $1 higher than ethanol. I use it in my mowers, generators, pressure washer, etc, but not my bikes. Maybe I should have, since I recently had to replace all the internals for the gas tank on my '07 FLSTN!

Non-ethanol gasoline is way more efficient than ethanol based fuels. I have a wholesaler in my area with non-ethanol gas in 93 octane. In my opinion the bike runs way better with that.

And with regards to damaging your engine/fuel system, it will not. Running E85 will.
