You shouldn't have any trouble going UP in altitude other than a slight decrease in power. I bought my 81 westy in Flagstaff, AZ (~7000') where it ran great. Upon moving to sea level in Rhode Island it ran terrible until I upped the octane of the gas. It ran fine on 86 at high elevation but takes at least 89 at sea level.
