In an attempt to recover some highway speed economy on my 88" 5 speed, I even extended the "lean" cruise range sector of my map to 3250 RPMs, but it doesn't seem to matter when churning 3k or above the mileage goes in the crapper.

I am thinking those number are derived from a stock setup, with by the book shifting (see page 145 in you owners manual), ethanol free high octane gasoline, and riding at or around 55 mph. With that being said you will never see 54mpg. I get anywhere from 40-44 average you may want to get a re-tune that one may not be good for your setup.

Is anyone getting the advertised 54 mpg with their 11 or newer 96 Ultra? How about even close? I am averaging 36 mpg... I do not ride like a mad man nor a puss, just your average rider.
On my 03 RKC I was averaging 45 mpg with the 88 and that was riding 2 up the majority of the time. I don't care if I ride 2 up or solo I am getting 36 mpg. I could go farther on my 5 gal tank than I can on my 6 gal tank. I am getting tired of pulling up to the pump every time I ride...

2011 CVo Road Glide gets 42 / 46
2012 Ultra 103 getting 44 / 46
Both Fuel Moto head pipes, stage one air , slip on's and TTS tuners. No dyno work just "V" tuned.
My wifes 2011 Deluxe getting 38 / 42 stage one down load, air cleaner and slip on's. Waiting on the TTS release on this one so I can get it right.
