My 07 Heritage does around 40 to 45 on most trips. But coming back from Vegas to Palm Springs it was over 52. Good tail wind didn't hurt.

I'll be damned, maybe I really did get 50. Cool. I didn't figure this softail would do that.

My worst was around 40 because I was riding hard that day.
My best was 54 because I was riding like an old woman.

My 06 FLSTN gets 45 mi./gal. This is on the back roads of NEPA.

I had a Honda XL 250 back in the 70's she would get about 80 mi/gal.

I got a 2000 bagger that i recently put new plugs and wires on, I 'm getting about 45-50. Seems amazing, but the numbers back it up.
