LOL cabbage, give it some more time on this board, and you will pick up the lingo. Some things still get me, but I think I got Dalton's acronyms figgered.

Btw, I get just at 39 mpg, most of the time. Before doing anything to the bike, I was at 42 mpg. Hate to see what I get onceI actually do something drastic to my engine. LOL

That seems to be about right. I have gotten as low as 37 travelling at 85mph on the interstate and as good as 42.5 riding 55 on two lane road.

Ok, for the real layman
HD = Harley Davidson
DTT TCFI IID = Daytona Twin Tech Twin Cam Fuel Inction tuner with wide band O2 sensors
TB = Throttle Body
AC = Air Cleaner (the element itself)
LSR = Land Speed Record = style name for the pipes manufactured by RB Racing

Welcome to the world of acronyms and abbreviations !!
