I can get right at 40 on the Jester, if I keep it in the 55-65 mph range....very hard to do with that bike.  When I get into the 75-85 mph range, then my mpg drops to a numbing 30-32 mpg.   On the 08 Street Glide that's another totally different story.  No matter what speed I ride that bike at, I get 40-42mpg, or just over 240 a tank.  That 96 is a good running engine, but it just doesn't have the "poop" that the Jester has...the Jester is way more seat-of-the-pants fun to ride.   ;)

The pumpkin had seepage around the cylinder bases at around 10K.  If you have it apart, you can't put it back together stock can you?

Checked it several times this past weekend on the interstate. Running a true 78 - 80 (82-85 on the speedo) I was getting right at 33.5. I would like to see more than that and may take some fuel out at those cells to raise it up a bit. Ran great, but would like to get 5 more.

Seems like we're all very similar.  Like most reported if running scenic roads at 55 or so I'll get almost 40 or a tad better.  Interstate type riding at 75-80 drops it down to 36 or so if no headwind.  Seems very sensitive to headwinds which dramatically reduce mileage.  Also pulling the Bushtec will drop it 2-3 mpg.

I kept a written record last year on the Sturgis trip.  Completely stock on mostly flat interstate at 70-75 it was doing 42 to 45 depending on the wind.  The best two tanks - go figure - were in the Hills doing 50-60 mph on longer rides when it went over 50 mpg.  I was surprised.  We'll see what it does now that it isn't completely stock.

Yeah it is sad...but with pay at the pump, you get the receipt, write down the mileage on it, get home, fill out spreadsheet...

I have one for all the vehicles...
