Highway mileage: 40.8 miles/ US gallon at roughly 70 miles/hr.
Take care

Hi All,
'05 FLHRCI w/ RollingThunder mufflers & K&N filter, added Hoppes Godzilla fairing and Tourpak. 37,000 miles on bike. This was all with SYN3. Just went to Amsoil in all three at 35,000 miles.
Mountain riding 2 up, 45 to 55 mph @ 50mpg.
City @ 35 to 40mpg.
Highway under 75 @ 40mpg.
Highway 75 to 85 @ 38mpg.
Lowest was coming out of Dallas, headed West, back to Palm Springs via Sturgis in 2005, headwinds at 80 plus, 30mpg, solo, loaded.
Thinking about adding a Power Card, but don't want to mess up milage. Any thoughts? | |

And that is riding like a fu*king tard...  | |

| '05 Heritage, hi flow filter, SERT, Big Shots, got right at 43 mpg on a 200+ mile ride up to the highest point in Alabama (not very high for you Westerns) . Perfect weather finally. I hope the 100 degree days are gone till next year. | |

| 95 inch Stage 2 with Rush Racing Slipons and SERT. Lucky to get 40, usually around 38 but I tend to keep it around 80 when cruising the freway. If I go riding with the wife or a group of our friends I can get 43 to 45. Guess as the wrist gets twisted the milage goes down proportionally. | |
