my 05 electraglide andrews 37 cams, hydraulic tensioners, power commander, 2 into 1, 95" upgrade, 5 speed trans, I treat every light like a 1/4 mile my bike is loaded with crap extra passenger most of the time I am less than 30 now. we did do a mellow really loaded trip where I got 37 mpg ain't seen that since. We had so much camping **** tied on I rode like a nun. I haven't been able to keep my driving to a safe or normal enough level to do another calculation since then. light turns green and I am gone baby.

I get about 48mpg with my 95" and SE 6speed and hydraulic tensioners on the highway at 70-75 mph.But the biggest difference were the smiles per miles.

I get about 34-36, on a good tank I've hit 38. Daily driver,51 mile round trip per day. With the 88 I was getting 42-44. As I stated in another post I almost regret doing the big bore.... Just alot of problems.
Went from home to Phoenix and back, about 450 miles, a few weeks ago and got around 34.
510 S&S w/chain drive, valve job and "carb work".
