I was the same Tex only used the BP but could'nt get it one day so tried the Shell V Racing and use it all the time now no problems at all with the bike even in hot weather no ping at all.
The guy at the station said it was 100 octane same stuff the V8
super cars race on.

Finky - What do you have on your saddlebags above the strips. I thought about putting a small blue flame above my strips.

Will have to try the Shell stuff then ..... But got to say at this point my bike is running fine. I've only had it 2½ months though. First cruiser..... last bike CBR1100XX super blackbird...

There just small chrome flames I picked up at a truck stop over here does the job stops the keys scratching the bags.
The bull dogs on the side covers come from a Mack truck they suit the bike I recon.

Be good to catch up when we are there if you make it.Im 53 but my partner who rides as well has to wait another 6 years just to become a junior. She rides a 750 Shadow and man we just ride everywhere together.Went to Coffs Harbour this year and Tassie the year before.
