My brother lived in Lompoc and I made the mistake of going home (Why, AZ 
at the time) via LA. My '98 Sportster had a slightly larger tank (3.2 
gallons) than the earlier models but gas stops were required. I think I 
fueled in Ventura before entering the LA parking lot. 

Going over I'd taken a more circuitous route dropping down from 
Victorville that was more pleasant.  

I did the Bay, or usually Tracy, to LA run quite a few times but when 
you've got a 150 gallon tank full of diesel you don't stop at every podunk 
town.
