Default mileage

yesterday was first day with the trailer. Love the whole set up 98 miles 2.5 gallons gas =39.2. Ride style does make difference no if I could do it with out the trailer. 2012 ultra, true dual Rineharts, air cleaner and power vision from Jamie at Fuel Moto, pulling a MCXL from ALUMA.

Good to hear you like your trailer. I just got my Deluxe set up with a trailer. I've only tried it out for a couple of hours about half loaded, but it pulled very good.

Nice looking bike LKHA. I hope you enjoy your Aluma as much as we have. We're getting close to 100K on our '03. We added radial tires and a swivel hitch and it pulls like a dream. Our bike setup is similar and mileage is close to your's if I watch it. We have dropped her into the high 20's coming out of Rapid City but that was self inflicted. (Wind and MPH.)

Sounds like a very respectable mpg. I run right in the same area and pull a 1988 Kompact Kamp that I resurected from the dead a year ago. As firebike stated your mileage can be worse if you push hard in lesser conditions.
