I can squeeze out about (not aboot) 350km, or 215 miles with highway riding from my '06 FLHRC - stock with no mods - if I'm lucky.&nbsp\\; Usually I try to fill prior to 300km (185 miles).&nbsp\\; Do you have a 5 or 6 gallon tank?

ORIGINAL: macsinbragg

How many kilometers/miles show up on the remaing til empty screen?...
I never really checked that...but my current mileage shows 133 miles on the trip and 155 "r" - so, I'll have to check that next time I take out a loan and fill the tank.

I have a 6 gallon tank eh!

Usually get about the same as you for distance, maybe a little better but most of all my mileage is highway.

Wondering will it get better&nbsp\\; as the bike gets broken in?&nbsp\\; currently I have 1400 k on it.

Thanks,

Scotty

After a fill up, I usually get 377 km's to empty, however, sometimes I get 382 km's to empty.
At 377 on a 23 litre tank, that's 46 mpg

I have an 08 Street Glide with fuel pack and rush slip-ons. I am trying to see how far I can go on 5.25 gallons (want toleave some in the tank).
40 mpg * 5.25 = 210 miles
42 mgp * 5.25 = 220.5 miles
44 mpg * 5.25 = 231 miles
&nbsp\\;
I have not gone over 190 miles as my reserve says 20 miles to go. How far can I take it???
