Default 2017 CVO fuel mileage

I have the 2017 CVO ultra limited with the 114 motor and rheinheart slip ons. I m only getting 34-35 MPG. First 3500 miles I was getting over 40 MPG. Have tried the MOCO and the district rep. They have me keeping a log right now to build data. Question----what is everyone else getting for fuel mileage?

Thanks

I am usually around the 38-40 mark with the torque cam and PV-2, other wise stock. I will ride conservative with the wife on back but otherwise, Let it roll. In the very Northeast we have had a early, snowy and very cold Winter and it SUX.

At the end of the DAY LOL the average biker probably does 5k a year and maybe some here more but come on this is classical. If you actually divide the number of miles driven and actual cost of so called the “Fun Factor” its chump change. And god forbid your ever in an actual physical motorcyle accident this aint nothing. MY 2 cents worth and nothing against the HD Forum member posting. And yes to answer your posting the mileage your seeing is pretty normal for a CVO.

On my 17 CVO Street glide, which I put 21K miles on the mpg depended on speed.

Interstate travel I averaged 42~43 mpg at 80 mph.

Secondary roads and the twisties 45~46 mpg at an average of 60~65 mph.

My 18 CVO Road glide with the 117 has 6000 miles on her now. Pretty much get the same fuel mileage as the 17 did.

I find speed and wind pretty much affect the outcome. 42 was the best and 28 fighting a strong wind across North Dakota.
