OK, how does the left wrist affect MPG?

He rides an older Indian?
Maybe a Panhead with timing retard?

Default Stage 2 SE upgrade

Any thoughts?
stage 2 is a lot of fun. I’d get rid of the CAT now for much bigger gains.

Whatever you decide good luck.

No cam but I recently installed a Fuelmoto stainless headpipe without catalytic converter, Ventilator air cleaner & Power vision 3 and. i already Had S&S slip ons. The difference was noticeable but not earth shattering. Coming from a 103HO on my 14 Tri Glide toa 114” on the 21 was enough of a boost in power for me for now. The heat reduction was so so, it’s still hot but runs way better. Throttle response is noticeably better.
Have fun with yours. I’m curious about your results.

First tank of gas was a little over 5 gal fill up. Normal riding averaged 38.5 mpg. That was a lot of cruising 60+ to 75 mph and towns with lots of red lights. So far, I'm pleased. The pipes are a bit louder than I like but sound great.
I'll be on a group ride tomorrow, I'll see how it goes.

You have to hold the throttle with the left hand to grab a beer from the saddle bag.
