I run the best in all of my trikes, the tanks are small and the cost of filling them dosn't kill me.

Running higher octane than what you need is a total waste of money and will not gain anything. When most of the trikes were built 89 octane leaded gas was pretty standard.
Increasing compression may require higher octane fuel, depending on how much. If you get 87 octane gas free, Id try it. If it knocks and pings, dump it, and run higher octane fuel.
