My 06 has averaged between 38 and 42 since it was new. Even when I installed 510G cams, the difference in my mileage was negligible. The best I ever got was right at 50mpg and the worst was in the high 20's.

I have an 07 Heritage with stage one, SEST and Rinehart 2 into 2 and getting 36 -38 (not happy with that) combined, but I do live in colorado and a majority of my riding is at a elevation of .6000 and 7500. My previous ride was a stock 02 heritage and I was getting 46-50 consistantly.
