Default Mpg?

I'm seeing a lot of posts about mpg. I do pretty much 100% city driving and I only get low to mid 30's. I thought I'd do better. It's a pretty much stock 05 FXDWGI......I do have Samson BG3 pipes, but that's about all. Is that bad? I don't beat the crap out of her..well for the most part anyway.

Mid 30's for city seems about right, I get around the low 30's on my 08 heritage if I do all city, low to mid 40's on highway.

I have an 06 Street Bob. I drive mostly Hwy miles and get about 43-45mph. Hopefully more when I put on my stage 1 AC and power vision.

While the topic has been beat to death this was covered last week in an almost identical thread. Bottom line is based on what your telling us ,if there's such a thing as normal you are there.
