RE: Windsheild question
I'm sure the aerodynamic play a key roll in the fuel mileage of my Ultra Classic but one thing I know for sure is, after the fuel gauge pass the 1/2 tank marker you had better watch it very closely because the second half seems to go a lot faster than the first half.

RE: Windsheild question
never look at my fuel gage go by mileage only
worst I eever got was 160 before reserve best 220
can always go 180 unless doing 80 into a big head wind if your windshield cuts off
9 miles for every gal. approx you have a really big bad designe whindshield
or you are saying that if I take mine off I can go 250 on a tank before reserve
how did you measure this as that is less thn a gallon of gas for me. 40 MILES ???????????

RE: Windsheild question
I don't believe the windshield is any less aerodynamic than your body.
As well, your body is often curved forward making more of a sail. The shield is slightly tilted rearward...
