I get about 35 MPG on my 08 Ultra Classic... Have just over 1000 miles on dealer installed Stage 1 and Stage 2, Rinehardt slip ons... That is an avearge of riding hard (keeping up with buddy on 08 Sreaming Eagel Ultra Classic) in 4th and 5th and easy freeway cruising in 6th... Was hoping to get closer to the posted MPG in the literature... NOT!!!!

Cheers,
COUG

Welcome to the forum! I'm just around the corner from you in Simi Valley, CA...you might catch me out and about on my ride up your way

Sounds to me like your MPG is really low.

I have not finished breakingmine in so I can say much but was happy when I rode about 150 miles of tight canyons and filled up at about 37 - 38 MPG on the new Ultra (Stock). Waiting for 1000 mile to put on the air cleaner,PCIII, and maybe some slip-ons (needs a bit more rumble).

My 06' Deluxe only got about 35 MPGcommuting but averaged 42 MPG + on the open road. It had stage 1, true duals, and the download.

Since we are on the subject....should I get the download if I'm getting the PCIII?
