I have an 08 UC, was getting 45-47 before I put the Vance & Hines slip-ons, SE A/C, and SERT on. Didn't have enough good riding weather to find out what it is now, but suspect it has gone down at least a little.

I generally get 39 mpg on 02 Ultra. I think maybe I have a heavy hand on the throttle as we usually cruise in the 80-85 mph range.

I live in texas and am only getting about 200 miles a tank. that doesnt seem very good to me at all. thats only about 36 miles to the gallon with a stock bike....do you think it could be that the ibke hasnt completely broken in yet???? I wanna go with the fuel moto set up but HATE to make my mileage worse you knw?? whaddya think?

Mileage depends on throttle input for me, I have gotten a high of 51 riding down from Sedona Az to phx at a nice slow 55-65 pace to as low of 26 when blasting farm country at much higher speeds, I seem to average 41-43. OnceI rode to Redding Ca from Chico Ca with a almost constant headwind and got 31 mpg and with the tailwind on the return much better at 48.
