Looks like a nice trip there. Good to hear how well the stroker engines ran. I'd love to be in the 40's mpg with my new build.

We are running darn near identical ignition maps in the DTT.
It actually appears that the larger engines really thrive on more air for better economy. I am debating the value of spending the money on the TB and injectors vs. the return in performance and economy. (ya, your right, I will most likely make the changes eventually
)As for getting the bike into the rooms at night, we did our best, but the desk clerks drew the line at that. We actually had to "ignore" one clerk as she just didnt understand that there was a lot of money in bikes sitting out front and we wanted them protected. All other clerks were very accomodating including supplying towels when requested to clean the bikes so we didnt ruin the good room towels. I guess the one was having a bad day and a bunch of bikers was the last thing she wanted to deal with.[:@]

Ive read both PhilM's and your post Dalton. I found both informative and worthy of envy from many readers here.
Thank you both for the Great pics and sharing of from what ive read was a sucessfull and a lifelong bonding trip. Just goes to show, we all share a Passion, and the opportunity to share that Passion together with fellow riders is priceless.
