My 103 with SE255 cams wants high octane. The best we can get in California is 91. At least thstbisxwhatvthe pump says. So, for those times my motor is not happy I carry octane additive.
During a recent Florida trip, I developed gas envy as 93 was readily available, and occasionally I saw ethanol free. The E0 was about $.50/gallon more than premium, and it was not indicated what octane it was.

The higher octane has nothing to do with "quality." As said before, it has everything to do with how much the fuel can be squeezed before it detonates. HD doesn't recommend higher octane fuel because of high compression ratios, it recommends higher octane fuel because of the heat our engines see. As heat goes up, the likelihood of detonation (or premature ejac... ummm ignition) also goes up. That being said, a modern bike has a knock sensor that monitors for detonation and adjusts the timing curve to minimize it. Don't sweat it so much.
