2007 Police Road King converted to a Road Glide with a Champion Conversion. S & S 510G cams. Air Filter True Duals rush mufflers. Dynoed. 103 HP 106 lbs torque. Run 87 oct gas. I have had her this way for 30 k miles. I get between 35 to 40 mpg depending on conditions. Rarely ride above 70 mph. I get better mileage in NC, TN, and Northern GA. Then in Fl. It was dynoed in NC maybe thats why it gets around 40 up there. Mostly 35 to 37 in S. Fl. where I live.

We have a 2019 HD Triglide Ultra. Yes, I know Harley says 40 mpg. This is not true in the wildest of dreams. Riding with my wife on back roads going between 55-60 MPH I can get in the mid 30's. Going on to the interstate and increasing the speed to 65-70 MPH decreases our fuel milage to between 28-30 mph. If we are really in a hurry, the milage drops to 22-25 MPG. We are afraid to take the bike on a long trip on say I 10 through Texas, speeds are 80 and in some areas the fuel stops are over 100 miles apart. I had thought about changing the drive pulleys to get better milage, this would throw off the speedometer which is driven by the transmission. Andrews offers a number of pulleys to choose from but there is no way to correct speedometer error.
