    G'day All,

                     New to the forum and also new Harley owner, I recently purchased a 2010 Fatboy and was wondering a couple of questions. Got the owners manual but who the f+ck reads them, is it best to use ordinarly RON91 unleaded or a higher octane unleaded? Also looking into getting clear lens LED tail lights, I see Harley to indicators with clear lens and LED, but couldnt see one for tail lights, i have seen some on the net are they all right? looking forward to your replys

    mate, i've got an 09 fatty, i usually run 98 premium fuel in it, but do put 91 in also, and to be truthfull, i don't notice any difference in power or fuel consumption,
    i'm running a led taillight, genuine harley one, just plugs in , no worries, got it off fleabay

    I ended up getting smoked genuine HD LED indicator lights, with a smoked Kuryakyn tail light this is the result

    Travelled the country last year and took whatever fuel was available. Tried to stick to the high octane stuff but sometimes you don't have a choice. It didn't matter what brand, what octane or what city or country town I got it from. It's all the same. Bike still ran the same ...no diff at all. A lot a people will tell you otherwise. Your choice.

    95 or 98 only. I did fill with 91 not long after I got the Iron and it pinged its head off! Might have been a bad batch of fuel, but few the extra few cents, I'd rather not risk it....

    Always use 98 in bike and car, LED looks good
