Greetings,
&nbsp\\;
I've got the Stage 1 kit on mine and I'm doing about 45 around town and on long trips in the low 50's. What are you getting?

I have gone through 3 tanks and average a lousy 30 mpg. The dealer told me the motor is not broke in yet. I just bought monday night and have 400 miles on it. They are saying it will get better around 1000 mile mark. does this sound like bs or what/ my 05 fatboy was getting the advertised mileage right off the floor.
