Default RE: Gas Mileage with a 124" Hotrod Bagger

im getting about 30 also, but i have my afr on the tmax set at 11.5 i know its rich but i dont get any decel pop and it runs so much cooler and my throttle response is great, personally i cant stand the sound of decel pop, when i hear it on other peoples bike it just sounds out of tune to me and considering the heat issue i know that heat will damage a motor alot quicker than runnin a little rich, so i choose to stay on the rich side, by the way my bike is an 07 flhtcu, tmax, and rhinehart true duals,se air filter.

I got 42.5 last Sunday, two up on a leisurely ride in the country-avg speed around 60-65. My friends' 05 SEUC 103 with PC, pipes, a/c gets 33 riding solo. BTW, both bikes are dead-nuts even from stop to 110 mph. I'm happy...

Yes Dog...My bike is injected. I'm running a 55mm T/B with 4.89 injectors and a large Hi Flow Breather venting out of a BZ Pipe. It flows some good cfm so I'd imagine that contributes to the volume spent in the cylinders. If this is the best it makes I'm happy at that, but would suspect there's more to be had with an upcoming dyno analysys and a bit of tuning. It runs hard and it's lots of fun so no worries.
