Since having my motor upgraded from a stage 2 95" to a stage 3 with compression, headwork, etc... My avg per tank around town had gone from 150 miles to 120 on a set of BSS. On the Hwy I could pull about 140-150 miles starting with a full tank before the low fuel light comes on. The bike is dyno tuned to make maximum power with fuel economy being a moot issue.
I now have a 2-1 pipe and reading your post has me wondering if I may get better economy as the 2-1 scavenges the motor better....Hmmm I'll find out today!
If you want to get 200+ miles to the tankful? Ride it stock!!!

that is poor. I have a stage 1 filter and V&H BSS pipes with a stock 88 motor and I'm getting around 175 miles a tank, mostly around town driving.
