    Hi all

    Just wondering what you guys are getting?

    I figured mine out today

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

    Take care
    John

    Gas Milage

    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?

    Sh*t... never did the conversion. All I know is that I get about 270 kilometers on a tank of premium gas (4.5 gallon tank) on my 06 Sporty.

    And that is riding like a fu*king tard... :devil:

    '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.

    its the first time I ever rode anywhere at 70 took forever 38 on the freeway is normal around town I get 30 to 35 mpg but there's a lot of bikes around that are stock with thunderheaders that think they can beat the world and its my duty open their eyes its hilarious to see the looks on their faces at the next light at least half of them make a right turn
