    Glad to hear as that sounds about right,:D I got 44 the other day doing normal riding but a couple of strong wind and rain storms we had to ride through on my 103 with 255 cams, I'm happy.

    I'd say that is very accurate. My wife's bike is basically stock and she almost always gets that good or better, I used to get that until I went with the 95" kit, now I get about 44-48 MPG's. With a good tune on your carb the V-Ductor is an added benefit as far as I'm concerned, I've had them on for right at two years now and have over 30,000 miles between the two bikes.

    I think that I am going to reinstall the V-Ductor and give it another try. The reason I am going to do this is because I think that part of the reason as why I was getting such bad gas mileage is because I had an exhaust leak. You should have seen the difference in the baffles that I took when I replaced those, there was a big difference. so I am willing to try it again and then go from there. (Rear Cylinder was really black).

    It wasn't and that was really surprising, the plug looked really good,, but the baffle was as bad as FLHT's complaining about the soot in his pipes, a definate difference from front baffle to rear baffle..

    not sure about the mileage with the V-Ductor installed yesterday but the T-R and power was really impressive. did a duel driver before and after test, me and my brother just to be sure I wasnt imagining. f#%#$&g unbelievable for a 40.00 investment.

    yup......your lean, and your exhaust stinks......do as others have posted. get it back correct, then start your journey on increasing. do one thing at a time, then check it, that way you will know if your doing good or bad.......
