The FLRSE3 does come with the SE Air CLeaner With a chrome backplate. I have also added K&N filter to repalce stock White filter.

Yours is the only model that comes that way...my 06 Ultra came with paper filter and plastic backplate...I rolled my own and got what you have.

Can't speak for the 110, but my 103 has seen as good as 44mpg, and as low as 34, but that's practically always two up...both me and the girlfriend weigh about 300 lbs combined.  I've got the above mentioned A/C assembly, SE Slip-ons (last years style) and ECM flash.  Recently added a PCIII to the mix...better performance, but have noticed a 3 or 4 mpg drop.  It's a trade-off.  If I keep the bike in putting around mode (under 60mph and shifts at no greater than 2500RPM), it moves up towards the 38 to 40 mpg range, but that's no fun...  Sometimes I like to putt around though.

I would say that the MOCO is fibbing with the 50 MPG figure on the Ultras...don't think anybody will ever see that number.

Probably under ideal conditions was how they got those numbers. Other then the one person on here that has said they got the 50 MPG I've not heard of any other. Makes you wonder if they were the lucky ones that got the test bike from the MoCo.

In my book, 50 Mpg = Pi$$ Poor Performance - doesn't it??

I would think more on the lines of "no" performance. Reminds me of Drivers Ed in school when they say you use the accelerator like you have an egg under your foot. In other words gently on, gently off. This would probably never happen for me however.

Back in July my 103 with SE slip-ons, Arlen Big Suck, and base download map got 41 - 43 on the highway, and 40 - 49.9 in the mountains (note: real close to MV!).  With the recent "dyno-tune" it had dropped to 35 - 38 generally.
(I'll probably go back to the base map until I can get to a real "tuner".)
 On that trip, wife's TC88 FLHRI with no mods got 43 - 46 highway, 46 - 52 mountains.... which is what I used to get with my '96 Evo FLHR with K&N, Hooker slip-ons and modified carb. (Carbs.. weren't they great! sigh.)

Oh, and that was with no 'egg'.  I pretty much allow wife to lead and set the pace, but she's no slouch. We cruised 75 with some 80+ on the highway, and some drag racing off the lights here and there. Her bike really runs good, stock as it is (except she has some 'holes' in her mufflers).
And in the mountains I kept the rpms up and had fun 'rolling on' out of lots of curves (to keep the mountain-boy cagers off my ass.)

[FLHRSE3]

I put 370 miles on my 07 SERK yesterday and on the only tank I checked I got an honest 47 mpg.  This tank full was a batch of mixed driving about 45 mi on the expressway and a lot of putting around the shoreline at 50 to 60 with the occasional twist on the throttle to get around traffic.  But it definitely was not all laying back, taking it easy to check gas mileage riding, when I got home and checked the GPS the max speed obtained was 108mph and that had to have been during that tank full.  I have no doubt that you could obtain over 50 mpg if you could force yourself to drive that way.  Perhaps ambient air temperature plays a role, it probably averaged in the upper 50

Maybe the MOCO finally built a Bike that can come close to MPG that they state in the SPEC Sheet and have some perrformance.

[grc]

Don't the stock CVO's come with a high-flow a/c?

[Woop De Doo]

I now have 980 miles on my bike and I have yet to get better than 34mpg. That 50+ mpg that the MoCo specs is like the EPA estimated mpg-never happen.

[ace4059]

I'm running a stage I A/C w/ K&N filter, V&H oval slip ons, SERT (calibration #84) on my '07 SE Ultra. Have about 1200 miles on her and I get 40 mpg riding 2 up.
