I tried NOS before I installed a fuel management system. I had good results with it, but too expensive in the long run. The stuff does work, but it is very poisonous and very bad for your paint if you should spill it and not clean it off immediately with soapy water.

Or you could tune your bike properly and not worry about the octane boost. Retarding the timing a little or adding a bit of fuel on the top end would probably do more to save your engine then adding octane boost. IMO if you need octane boost, you don't have a good tune.

Forget it
Octane boost is a band aid. You will actually make more power with a low octane and a good tune. All late model HD's have a knock sensor that retards the timing. It's behind the horn and is wired to the Delfi. Besides, Octane boost ain't cheep over the life of a bike...spend the cash on a the tune up.
