rickshog,
Either your bike is becoming more efficient or you are laying off the throttle as the newness is wearing off.

The best i've got was 47.2 mpg, on my 06 FXDI. Half the leg of the trip was at 65 in 6th gear, 10% was going up a 7% grade in 5th gear going about 75, and the rest was flat out freeway going 80 in 6th. The rest of the trip was flat and i was going 80-85 in 6th and got 43 mpg. I haven't done any engine mods yet, but i have the Hypercharger sitting on my entertainment center as i wait for my back ordered vance and hines big shots, so i can take it to the shop and have it dyno'ed and do the sert. I hope my gas milege doesn't go down after the sert, it's 3.60 pr/gal for premuim in so cal right now.
