Lets talk twin-cam mileage
most likely this is a duplicate thread,
I have not checked the color of the plugs yet, but I am getting a solid 35 MPG at the moment. This is most likely towards fat, but honestly I'm not sure I care. Bike is running better than it ever has, happy, happy, happy.

I to own an '07 FXD. I've placed over 60,000 mies on it with only two real issues, both electrical, and both could have been avoided. It runs great. Enjoy!

Usually get 45, almost all highway. Best I have got is just over 50, worst is 42. I don't care for city riding, YMMV. A tune would have to be way off to make that much of a difference, most likely riding style/area.

You should be getting in the 40s with your setup.
I'll bet riding behind your bike would make my eyes water!
You say you have a T-max, does that mean the Zipper's Thundermax with autotune?
If so, run a few tunes on it and it should get better.
I average 42 and I usually don't baby it.
