Yes I have gotten over 50 mpg a few times. But this last tank was about 46 mpg. I still can't figure out why on gas fill ups and the tank empty. Why you cannot put closer to 5 gal in the tank.

Got a question for you guys. Do you go to the dealership for Service Internals, or do it your self. I did the 1000 miles service at dealer and for our 1 and only dealer in Hawaii it cost nearly $600. I am now at 5000 miles and contemplating paying for oil change at dealer or just do it my self.

$600 for a 1k checp up is a rip off. Should be included in the sales price. Anyway, I would do oil changes my self or find a good indie. Keep all receipts to prove work was done for warranty purposes.
BTW, I will be retiring to Oahu in the future. I have a place in Hawaii Kai. Thinking whether it makes sense to ship my 2018 Heritage Classic there or buy used whenever that may be. I love the riding there, but not sure if I would get island bored after a while. Are there plenty of rides to keep interest up? I see lots of baggers, just dont see the need if no over nighters needed.

I’ve scrapped a few times, mainly doing left or right hand turns. Normal riding, I think there is a low chance riding moderate twisties. Push it in the mountains, sure. But I don’t ride the Heritage 114 like a track bike.
i think a good rider on this bike could dust most street riders, who are riding a sport bike, in the twisties.

I’d be concerned if you were turning somewhere other than left or right 
As for clearance, the ‘18 is pretty nimble. I ride canyons a lot and can be prettty spirited without issue. Still possible to scrape, but way better than it used to be.
