RE: Milage on 07 and 08 Touring bikes.
I get about the same mpg as most, 07 FLHTC low of 42 high of 48 on interstate 75 mph, had a used 05 FLTHC that had mod's, it got 32high highway, the used dealer said that was what to expect that nobody got 45 mpg, soI left it at a Harley dealer and asked them to make it stock, I didn't notice any difference in power and the high went to 46 highway 40 2 laner's.

I am curious. I had an 04 Wideglide that got about 42 MPG on average. Stage one with K&N open ac, SEII mufflers and a Dobeck fuel controller.
My 06 Roadglide with the same type K&N, stage one flash and stock mufflers (noise is an issue in my condo parking) gets mid to high forties and, occasionally when the moon is right, fifty MPG.
What kind of milage numbers are 96" Touring bikes getting that aren't modified beyond intake and, maybe, mufflers?

City: 38-40mpg (frequent cold starts, lots of stop-and-go).
Highway, 55mph: 50 mpg
Highway, 65mph: 47 mpg
Highway, 70 mph with 25-knot headwind: 40 mpg
I've done quite a bit of tweaking to my PCIII to attain this mileage, mostly by leaning the cruise range, and I think this about as high as I'll get with this SG without going too lean with the A/F. I'm trying to find that ideal compromise between mileage and heat, and feel like I'm very close at this point.

16k miles on my 07 RKC and I average about 48 mpg... Better when I behave on the throttle and use 6th on the highway... I live in a pretty rural area and most of my riding is either long 2 lane roads or highways... My 32 mile one way to work only has 4 lights or so spread out on it and Speed Limit is 50...
I tested the speedometer and it is only about 2 mph off at 70... The odometer though is spot on...
