My twin cam 88 gets around 38. My twin cam 107 gets around 38. Both can vary a bit but nothing significant. I'm surprised the 50+ club hasn't chimed in with their claims. I suspect they soon will.
Gas quality, ethanol etc, have much to do with it along with driving habits and conditions. I'd say you are right about the average.

My headers are still on backorder, but I did the Fuel Moto Jackpots, SE intake and Power Vision - so I will see if a complete stage 1 changes things any, but according to the power vision, my average is 49.3 mpg.
The bike has 3500 miles on it, 2300 have been in the past two weeks. I haven't had a chance to run the numbers by hand, but I don't know that the number on the power vision is really all that far off. I get about 210 per tank when the low fuel light kicks on, then it shows r37.
I don't know that I fully trust the gauges, but when I top off the tank, I can only get 4.7 gal in there after 210 miles, so... if .3 gal would get me 37 miles, it could mean that I am getting close to 49 mpg. Seems a bit high though, but I don't rev it hard, and I do a lot of highway miles cruising in 6th.

210 divided by 4.7 = 44.68 so your power vision isn't giving a true reading either.

Just curious what everyone else is getting for gas mileage?
My low fuel light seems to come on at r37 and I fill it up at r12 and the tank is full at 5.1 gallons.
My remaining fuel then resets to r197.
My powervision trip meter shows 42.0 in the city and 42.7 on the highway.
Bike has 750 miles on it and will be getting it's 1000 service completed real soon.
2012 Streetglide with V&H power duel header with V&H 3.5 black widow slip-ons, V&H V02 air intake, V&H throttle pack and tuned with a powervision.
