fuel mileage
I just ordered an exhaust for my 07 StreetBob and the shop said I can keep the stock air intake or I can get the new intake but my milage will go down (obviously) but I want to know by how much. I am getting about 44.7 MPG now. Also the EFI mod, I was recommended the SERT or a TTS Master Tune. Which is better and why or is there something else? I read the Power Commander isn't the greatest. Thanks.

Posted elsewhere here of my trip to and from California early this month.
At 70-75 mph steady cruising, no huge inclines and negligible wind, my Fat Bob got 40-55 MPG over the 3,200+ mile trip. Rode several 250 mile legs and did not have less than about a quart of fuel remaining. The beast is pretty well modded over stock form.
That said, when the beast is taken to 80 MPH or faster, the MPG drops precipitously.
