Getting 52 mpg
I've tested my XL883c several times and always come-up with 52 to 53 mpg.
When I feel I'm getting towards the end of my tank, I stay in town on a strip where there are many gas stations and nothing desolate. First sing of chug, I get to a station. Pushed it to 200 miles.
My safety from now on will be 185 miles.

I was getting 52-54 mpg on my 2012 Superlow with Screaming Eagle slipons and air filter in mixed city/hiway driving.I added the Xied's last year and now I get 50-52....good trade-off in my opinion.

I was getting 52 all stock, then I added fuel management and got better than 56 plus tremendous power increase. See more here: http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/s...hreadid=856532

On a Sturgis trip a couple years ago, my 03 1200C averaged right under 56mpg in 8 days over roughly 3300 miles. I took backroads the whole way and kept it a mostly leisurely 60mph with the occasional "over the speed limit" blast. I would say day to day I am in the 50-52 mpg range so I am happy with it.

Are you running any aftermarket pipes air filter etc? Whats you jetting in your carb. Those are some good numbers. I have a 99 xl1200c and getting like 39 railing on it around town. I need to run some more miles and cals tho to get a better idea. With the 3.3 gallon tank I have herd the reseves is anywhere from 0.5 to 0.8 gallons. One of these days i will run it dry when the wife is around to bring me gas LOL.
