RE: fuel mpg
Welcome to the forum. I have an 06 Carb bike and get around 43 mpg. It is kind of hard to guess what you should get. So many variables such as mods, riding style and such. There have been some good discussion on the subject, use the search feature. Sorry I could not be of more help but welcome again.

I just did 250 miles at around 80 to 90 MPH and averaged 41.5 mpg. I think that under normal highway driving conditions that I'd get around 45. See my sig for my bikes upgrades.
