Tuner ??

I have a
- 2015 FXDL
- 30k miles
- Did the front 30 T
- thundercone slipon
- de-catted header
- SEPRT
- ride always in the city
- concerned about gas mileage, currently getting 32-35 mpg

I would like something that gives more ommmpg. Been riding a loaner 107 M8, and that blows my bike away. I know it has a different engine, but getting more power to my 103 would be nice.

I'm not looking to do anything further from stage 2. And do not have access to a tuner.

Big tq for advice. Much appreciated guys.

My 2 cents - sounds like a tuner issue to start with. The 57H works well with stock compression and is far more fun than the 255"s early shut down. Got
my Power Vision from Fuel Moto / Jamie set for decatted stock headpipe, 57H, Rinehart slipons, opened up stock A/C. It only got 32 mpg and then I used
the autotune per Jamie's instructions. I've done 12 autotune sessions from around town to cruise control 75 mph to a wide open 5th gear blast down Hwy
111 going into Palm Springs. My mileage is now stupid good in the low 40's and I don't just putt, putt my big heavy bagger - 2013 FLHTK. Fwiw.

thanks for da infos everyone it's great

I think I will go with the 255 because I'm always in city and torque is what we need

currently living in asia so a tuner is really rare!
