91 should still work alright.

While its not best, if you have access to higher octane gasoline to mix with or a quality octane booster then I would see about using them.

I have a very similar setup. I run between 1000 and 1600 feet. I find that 101 is about the perfect octane for my bike.

You have a JE piston which typically had a dynamic compression ratio close to 12.4:1, that seems to have an impact on these things.

I have an 11:1 JE piston not a 12:1. I opted for this piston due to longevity of motor life and ability to run lower octane fuels.
