wow---reading this thread is interesting.   I don't think you're going to believe me.

I ride hard,  alot.  I'm going 185-205 miles and filling up at 4.9 to 5.1 gallons.  If I'm pussy footin around 220-240 miles per tank---5.1 to 5.3 gallons.  If my limited math ability works that puts me in the 40-45 mpg easily.

06  103---decked heads 30 thousandths, new rings, stage one, SS 570 gear drive cam, vance & hines pro pipe all done when new.  took me 28k miles too loosen up and get this kind of mileage but I'm liking it!!

Wow Skyman, that's some great mileage..esp. with the performance mods.  Do you have the 6 gal. tank?  :nixweiss: spyder

Did 600 mile trip yesterday, from Louisville, KY to Richmond, VA and averaged 38 running cruise at 75 mph. I did'nt know what to expect but I guess it's about average after reading the other posts here.

Finally getting 32-37 cruising 75-80. Expecting better with new cams in two weeks and I will post the results after my trip to northern California the 19 through 29. Running Rhinehart true duals, Stage 1 and a Super SERT with a tweaked canned map that was very close to this set up and waiting for a dyno after the cams are installed.

 When we first got this sled we rode to Hollister for family stuff and went 117 miles and needed 4.7 gallons! Last weekend with the CVO So. Cal. GTG, riding 90-110 MPH we all stopped in Santa Maria and we had 183 miles on the odometer and I took 3.7. Lil-Bit saw the trip meter and was shocked! Never seen that many miles on a tank before. Guess we have to ride at that speed more often ;D.

We just got back from three days up the SoCal coast and got 41-43 mpg's average on three fill ups with two up and pulling the Bushtec. We were on 5mph switchbacks to 80mph straights and that trailer really handled well. There is something to be said about not getting top heavy with T-Bags and full tourpacks. Here is the bike at Santa Maria Harley Davidson.  Doc

Usually around 40, that's riding two-up with sert, true duals and not babying it.

I was getting 40 mpg running 80-85. I took it to the dealer for warrenty work. Replaced aircleaner housing and filter (cracked and fell off) with high flow Harley part. Milage immediately dropped to 34-36. I just completed and 3,000 mile run, this milage remained down the whole trip, despite slowing my speeds way down to compensate. The dealership swears they didn't touch anything else, no reflash, etc. I've ordered a 2nd replacement K&N to get back where I was pre-dealership intervention.

how's this for mpg's...

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then sold the aluminum cans for recycling you would have received $214.00.

Based on the above, and given the state of today's financial world, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another sturdy found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means that, on average, Ameaicans get about 41 miles to the gallon.  :drink: :drink: :drink:  Doc
