I average right at 50, 47 to 53 depending on how I drive. TC 88 with stage 1 and Python pipes.

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.
