    Got to major brand fuel stations.
    Shell, Chevron, Exxxon, Valero and put some of this in every now and then.
    If your bike sits much keep it in the gas.

    Don't put any other fuel additive in or you will dilute the fuel.
    Go to Autozone and git it.

    I love my Springer and no mixed feelings about having it as a second bike. Like HRK if I sold it I would be kicking myself. I have sense put a solo seat on it from Mustang with a Mustang backrest. I hope HD never brings it back cause mine just keeps holding its value. :D. Need to get a new pic with the solo seat.

    That's a beauty! Is that Crater Lake?

    Wish I'd kept my old '75 FL. That bike took me to the far reaches of North America and South America with nary a problem except for a couple broken drive chains, but she had 285,000 miles when I sold her. I felt like I abandoned her after all the years of faithful service. What a schmuck.

    She sounded like a keeper for sure. Wasn't gonna cost you no money.

    I still have my '83 FL that I bought new. Paid for,don't cost me nothing and for now, she's over covered in the shop:

    Saved my arse when I had the 2001 Ultra. And the good thing is you cannot over toxify your gas by it. Meaning you don't have to measure precise. Read what the recommended dosage then guestimate the splash and no worries. Its also found in Marine(water) sections of say Walmarts. Carried a bottle with me at all times when on the bike and always gave it the guestimate splash before filling tank.

    Ethanol is evil.

    Yep, that's Crater Lake. I would also feel like I was abandoned a good friend if I got rid of it.

    Practically identical to mine, except mine was aqua green and had black wall tires. Love the gas tank!

    Thanks. At the time I was in to buried treasure and the Oak Island treasure mystery in Nova Scotia. Been on the actualy island 6-8 times and consequently became good friends with the current island owners.
