Does anyone have any reports on the actual mpg of the 2009 SE ultra?
I have about 3300 miles on mine and gettion between 31 to 34 riding on interstate @ 65 to 72 miles per hr.(stock) Seems pretty bad to me. Just changed up and went W/ stage 1 (sert-seair filter-v&h monster ovals-dyno-tuned) don't know results yet cause just had it done. Any one done this and got mpg results??
You went with the SERT, SE Air filter, Vance Hines ovals. How is the sound and the performance versus stock? That is one of the combos I was thinking about on mine. You said it was dyno tuned. What kind of torque and hp numbers did it come up with?
To answer your question, I think I got about 35 mpg on mine, but I've only been through one fill-up so far and I'm still babying it for break-in.
The sound is a bit on the loud side for me. I was hoping it wouldn't be as loud- just deeper. As for the performance I can't say yet cause it was raining the nite I came home after the work was done so I had to ease home.
