Welcome Old Raodstar. Hold on to your wallet, these guys and gals can spend your money faster than you can imagine. Fuel mileage, mine gets about 30mpg, and I don't care one bit [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Morning all, I just bought a used 06 FLHTCUSE (3K miles) came with V&H Tru-Duals with stock baffels,PCIII
Love the machine only have one question.????? Is there a trick to getting better gas mileage?? I currently am getting 25-30 MPG, had it into the dealer and had the PC tweeked alittle and got up to 31 MPG,running 65 -70 on super slab. The bike was origanilly from Geneva NY, I live i Florida (KSC AREA) so altitude will make a difference. Any suggestions???

Hi Timmy and welcome to the site.

There are risks and costs to a program of action.  But they are far less than the long range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.

Hey Timmy,
Welcome to the site.  I also traded in my Roadstar for the Autumn/Haze 06 FLHTCUSE.  What a great bike.  We had a great summer on ours and the wife loved the comfort [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif].

As a new member to the site, let me welcome you with a promotional plug:  Check out this link for information on joining us at our annual CVO get together.  This year it is being held in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada.  Hope you can join us [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

 :o Hey Timmy,
Like in a previous response, heat has always had alot to do with mpg. Plenty of threads to investigate. I've always had good luck with improvement to mpg with better breathing and exhaust. Race tuners will always help and adjust to your conditions. Welcome and open up the purse strings.

Hey Timmy,
Now that you are more seasoned on the site here is some advice I was given when I first got my Autumn/Haze:  Get rid of those reflectors on the front forks [smiley=soapbox.gif]
