Appreciate it everyone. Super stoked about it. Only thing I plan on doing is putting a sissy bar and luggage rack on it. MAYBE a tour pack in the future. What kind of fuel mileage is everyone getting?
The first 1500 or so miles averaged between 36-39 mpg, since then most tanks are 38-41 MPG. Engine is stock with a set of V&H 4.5 slipons.
I have heard others claim much higher MPG but I don't buy it. With the AUTOsist app I enter the info at each fill up, I have missed entering it on a couple fill ups but it notes those and they do not factor into the Avg MPG calculations so I fill pretty confident the numbers I am showing above are accurate for my bike

Mine is a 2017 RGU, I enter each fill up into AUTOsist app in my phone with gallons and millage. Right now I have right at 7500 miles and an average MPG of 39.63 for those miles. That is a general mixture of miles over the 7500 miles, interstates, country roads maybe 10-20% in town driving at max.

I "only" planned on a set of slipons. Six months and about 5 grand later, I'm still adding stuff. It's an addiction!!

As for fuel mileage. One thing for sure when you hit and cross 80 mph it drops. After a few long trips that has been proven with out a doubt. I also find myself looking for reason to roll on hard with it. Much more that the others. It wants to run.

I agree 100%. Maybe its just the fact that I went from an 88 to the 107 but my goodness it seems like this bike is just beginning to come to life at 80mph
