e85

I have the plans and knowledge to produce fuel grade ethenol. Has any of you converted your 1800 to e85 fuel? If so, how did it work out?

Still running ethenol free when I can find it.

The GL1800 and I believe all Goldwings are designed to run on 87 octane. Here is a post from a while back on the same subject:

And probably void your warranty. I do believe the extra corn would also hurt the engine.
