Question 95" big bore mpg?
What kind of mpg's are you guys who've done the big bore on a 88"?
Any of you guys in the 40's?

I could probably get 40 mpg out of my Heritage but it's too much fun to twist the throttle. As a result i'm usually down around 35.

Last summer got about 445-49 mpg two up and 203 cams. The faster your speed is the more inefficient these engines are.

Keep them comming!!!!
Didn't think that it would remain that good.
Chit...this is just ammunition for the "justification" that I'm trying to beat through my head. Cylinders are still fine. Getting hard to convince myself not to leave 'em alone.
