Fuel injector cleaner?

Anybody use it on these EFI Harley's? If so what kind? Reason I ask is yesterday I was out riding, stopped at Harley Haven and everything was fine. When I went to leave it was spittin and popping. Idled fine but if I gave it any throttle It just would not go. I took the plugs out and replaced them even though they looked fine. I went on down the road to see if I could get it home or if I was going to have to call a friend with a trailer and it just started running fine. now more problem the rest of the day. I guess I just had some trash in the fuel line. But that got me thinking about EFI cleaner. I put in my cars so why not my bike. Any suggestions?

I use Sea Foam Motor Treatment when the bike has been sitting over the winter.

Twice a year I run BG's 44k fuel injector cleaner through mine. I must say I dont see a drastic improvement but I've done that for 65,000 miles now with no fuel issues so I'm going to keep on doing it.

I use Lucas fuel additive every 5 tanks or so and when I first used I noticed a difference right away in the performance likely due to the octain boost. Turned a wrench for 25 years and it is the best additive I have found yet. The BG 44k works good too but it can be hard to find and you can always find Lucas at Wally World.
