Default Harley fuel additive

I was wondering how many of you guys use it, and is it really worth it?

I use it to keep the engine clean its more of a lubricant than anything helps keep the top side of the piston and valves lubricated. Also it helps with low octane just incase that 93 is really 89.6 cause it sat there so long or a pumper made a mistake.
