I was using race fuel 116 oct in my 119" but it started getting expensive... Had to go back to using 93 oct and retarting my timing.
 
When I first got my Heritage, I was using 91 because, in my ignorance, I thought it was good enough since it was labeled premium. Bike started having problems, so after searching around I found a mom and pop gas station that has 93. Filled up and added a splash of octane boost, now the bike runs like a scalded dog. I only add a splash of octane boost once every 3rd or 4th fillup, but I use 93 octane and nothing less now.
I found a gas station near my home that refuses to buy etahnol. He stays pretty busy selling to mc..boaters..rv's etc., that's all I buy now. Sometimes use Startron in the gas though
 
On my recent trip I had little choice in fuels at times, I did run some ethanol free 89 and my bike ran like a scalded dog, a buddy of mine with a new bagger wanted to race on I 90 he was no match for my Bob:p
 
We don't have ethanol free in my liberal state, I put a splash of klotz octane boost every fill up and works well...
