Fuel injected Harley Manual Idle Speed Control - YouTube

Ya know,? I like the way it sounds with those pipes..... The video doesn't come close to the sound in person....


I can't believe the mileage either. I've checked it twice now. Just a tick over 40mpgs. I figured I'd be lucky to get 35 at this point.


Now, if I could just get beyond the 500 mile mark......... so I could RIP IT!!!!!

Ahhh, I was wondering how he got 40 mpg...I get only 36 with my 88 but I'm at WOT quite a bit and 80+ on the highway.

Now I understand how he gets 40 mpg.

Was that the trip meter that kept jumping around with crazy numbers while it sitting there parked? Hahaha

I know what you mean. It is difficult to record bike exhaust and accurately capture the sound.
