Regarding mileage, whenever you richen up the air/fuel mix, you typically have a resulting reduction in mileage. The XiEDs work very well, and they also work very well in tandem with the V&H FuelPak.

OK< gonna ask a "stupid" question. Just got my XEIDS, 08 UC, stock, 96 motor, all stock. Work mate says install near ECM, looks like "de-structions" say follow wire and install. Does it matter or are they set up to install at 1st link point?
GUYS, don't beat me up too much, first HD I have ever owned, always had "rice burner" prior.

So does anyone else using these also experience a drop in MPG?
Or is this maybe a consequence of "Hey! I got better throttle response so now I'm always rapping the throttle when I'm sitting at a red light and gunning it when I accelerate because my scoot performs so much better now!" syndrome?
I'm interested in trying these in order to avoid sticking YET ANOTHER object under my seat.

I didn't realize that 210 oil temps were considered high. That's about what my temps have always been... On the hottest of days in stop and go traffic mine can get to 220 or slightly more but that is rare. The only engine mod I have is a 2:1 exhaust pipe but that never changed my temps from what they were with the stock pipes.

real interesting thread. I'm on the fence trying to deceide whether or not to try them out but from what I'm reading this is almost a no brainer so I'm thinking of going ahead. Just hope they work out. I ride a 2013 softail deluxe with rush 1 3/4" baffles and high flow intake and the stage 1 Harley down load which i'm sorry I did since I don't thing much was gained.
