Bad MPG with 08 nightster.
Im running 30-32mpg on a tank.. Not sure if its my short pipes or what, Santee LAF drag pipes, FuelMoto tuner, SE Stage 1 A/C. Also have a 2" tank lift, so my fuel light is coming on at 65-71 miles and when I fuel up then, it takes 2.25 gallons.
Anyone know what could cause it? Im guessing the pipes. I requested a new tune since I get a lot of popping when letting off the throttle and will be getting V&H 2into1 blackout soon, so hopefully that will help/.

Ive noticed it doesnt really matter, Mostly highway, out of the 71 miles I go before fueling up, 50+ are hwy.. riding it easy on a tank, mixed easy/hard riding, it stays about 30-32 mpg.
Havent checked the plugs, I dont think they'd cause a 10-14mpg loss. I had a 2013 72, short shots, stage 1 AC and same tuner, i got 40-42 mixed hwy/city and pretty much running 1,2 & 3rd gear out... Which is why I think it's these short @ss pipes.

i'd say slow down but, that would be double talk on my part... i damn sure dont. ******* riding burns gas
I average 65-80 around town and 98-110 on highway before the light comes on (3.2g tank)
swap out your plugs, check your tire pressure (stock is 30psi front / 40psi rear [confirm on your frame badge])... dunno after that...
