This is 3 fold

2. 32mpg
3. I use the power vision as a gage for rpm volts engine temp and mpg
I have here a 2008 Custom that I converted to a trike. It is now about 200lbs heavier. That machine gets around 120 miles to the warning light so will do about 160 to 170 on a full tank.
How are you only able to get 144 miles from a tank full? How much do you weigh? What is your riding style?
Me I have a 2017 XL1200T, Khrome Werks slipons, Screamin' Eagle A/C
45 mpg (US) 54mpg (UK)
Do the maths when I fill up.
1. 2003 XL1200S
2. Screamin Eagle slip on Mufflers & Screamin Eagle Air Filter/plate with Modified CV Carb.
3. 50-58 MPG depending on how hard I twist the throttle or if I am just cruzen along at 55 mph with a steady throttle.
4. Divide # of gallons at fill-up into miles driven.

3. Calc when I get gas. Miles ridden by gallons at fill up.
