RE: mileage
I have an 07 Road King Custom set up just like yours and just returned from a ride in very windy conditions. About eighty miles on the interstate running over 80mph. I got lucky. I filled up at 204 miles and it took 4.8 gallons. My mileage varies but has always been in the 40s. I have always pretty much figured that I should start looking for gas at 175 miles and have many times gone over 200, but not at 80mph plus into a headwind. This has been true for my last two Harleys.
RE: mileage
On my 2007 FXDSE (w/5gal tank) I have to stop somewhere around 120 miles to a refuel, but then I am not completely out of fuel eighter, I usually end up putting about 3 gallons in it, but I panic and start looking when my gauge says it is at a quarter of a tank, because I have ran out of gas before and it is not any fun pushing the bike to the station, and besides I do not think that the fuel injection would like to be run out.

RE: mileage
My gage doesnt work anyway. Who needs guages.
I get around 40-42 MPG as an average. 5 gallon tank gives you 200 miles or so.
I usually fill up around 150. No sweat, no worries. Fill it and check the mileage everytime.
Its really a no brainer.
Use your odometer. Its more accurate than the HD gas gage.

RE: mileage
I have an 04 heritage, carb'd, stage 1. I usually fill up at around 120 miles and it normally takes 3.2 to 3.6 gal. according to conditions. On trips, by that time, I need to rest anyway and I don't like to go on reserve, cause then, all I can think of is my fuel. Hell, I'm lazy, don't want to walk or push.
