How much impact does the 117 kit and larger throttle body have on fuel mileage?

My 124 gets about the same as the stock motor did. Not sure though you want to do the upgrade for the gas mileage though. IMHO if your riding style does not push your current motor hard or you think about gas mileage while riding, it does not make sense to "crack your cases" either for reliability or finances.

I checked mine last week and it was 39 on the highway

My 117 is getting 40 mpg. It was 41 with the 110.

I don't know how you guys are getting such good mileage.  I got 32.7 MPG on the last tank on the 110.  My V-Rod is in the low 30s also.  I ride pretty hard though.

Man, that is terrible for a 110. Don't know about V-Rods. I whack the throttle pretty consistently and have always had 41 mpg on the 110. Maybe 40 every once in a while. The 117 is at 40 mpg every time I check, which is almost every time I get gas. Maybe a dyno tune would help.

Hehehe.  I bet you guys that keep up with MPG's, count your calories, too!  When mine gets on "Elvis", I stop and fill it up.  They just won't run without gas!  LMAO!  There endeth the lesson.  Later--HUBBARD

My vrod was consistently in the low 30s mostly because it was always turning high rpm.

I haven't checked this bike yet but I feel like it's going through gas a little quicker than my 103. I'll be taking a 600ish Mike trip this weekend. I'll check it then.

I don't check mileage anymore.. As long as I'm smiling while twisting the throttle, mileage is the furthest thought from my mind!

Yep! Sure do. That's why I'm at 5% body fat. I also run on straight gas whenever possible.  I guess we all can't be as daring as you

Hey there is a thought for me. If I got to 5% body fat I could get better fuel mileage and save the $ on building more motor. Come to think about it I have gained 60 lbs in the last 3 motors....   Naw.... I'll be fat and happy and keep building more motor....lol. Last time I checked thinking I was about 34mpg.....lol
