Maybe you should have gotten a Prius.

Maybe you should learn proper English! No need to be an ***.

I get between 40 and 45 mpg. However, I ride 1 up only, weigh 120 pounds (but always have 20-30# of gear and stuff with me), and ride mostly surface roads at 40-50 mph. Bike was bought used, so unsure what it has besides the 103 and V&H slip-ons. Did get a tuner with the bike, but looks like stock air cleaner, so probably pretty much stock otherwise.

I get around 43 mixed driving to work and 48 highway at 65. No modes yet. On my 2011 Road King with Stage 1, Fuelmoto 2-1-2 head pipes, 4.5 pro touring slip on and PV map I would get 52 mpg.

I ride a sportster, but I have noticed shift points make a big difference.

WHAT!!!??? From the posts I read I figured that was the point of being on here. 90% BS, 10% useful info. ALL, peppered with wise cracks. I love it. If you don't have thick skin I guess it can get annoying. Terri will jump in if it gets out of hand.

Your Ultra weighs quite a bit more than your dyna does. Don't expect comparable mpgs. Depending on the wind (direction and speed), I average 40-50 mpg also on the highway. But that is at 70 or below. When I get on the turnpike at speeds of 75 - 80 mph, mileage does drop pretty good.

I historically get terrible mileage. I live in an urban stop-and-go riding environment. With my current Stage 1 1200C, I average about 27 mpg. 30 if I throw in some 95 riding. On the slab I'll get about 43 mpg. Less if I cruise over 80.
