Man how did I survive without this site. This is better than Facebook.

 

What is Facebook?????????????

 

A Super E is a primitive means of converting dollars into horsepower....and it does that very well indeed!! but the CV is the best for a mix of performance and economy but it won't give you S&S performance.

Be good to have the CV for commuting and put the Super E back on for the weekend :-)

 

Anything is better than facebook!!!!!

 

I wish I could put a 25 gallon tank on my flhtc. Maybe convert the bags into gas tanks. Now there's an idea

 

If you do that you will need a fuel pump.
To maintain gravity feed you would have to put it on the rear seat or the luggage rack.

Met a guy that put an extra tank like that on the back seat.

 

Sorry to disagree but my last SS E got 45 miles a gal on my 94 wg. Even when hot rodding as usual. It had a Yost power tube in it from new if that matters.

 

What is a Yost power tube?

 

It is a tube that fits under (above, I suppose) the main jet. It is supposed to atomize the fuel mixture from the main jet better. Some report better fuel economy with one. I haven't found a before/after dyno graph. Costs ~$45.

It could very well be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but it's not worth $45 for me to try.

 

I installed the Yost tube, right after I got my ride & to be honest couldn't tell any difference. Best thing I did for the S&S was to install the MaxFlow A/C kit from Zippers. Fuel mileage went up about 5 mpg & weather permitting I ride 160 miles to & from work. Get around 38 mpg & cruise around 70.
Ride Safe,
