Please report back when you've been able to ride enough to check the fuel mileage. Just curious how the DFO would affect it.

Cool.
I'm going to do DFO also, but haven't decided on pipes just yet and waiting for Ness to release '06 Big Sucker...

JamieWG-Yes,alot more power!

Neckball-I'm supposed to go on a run tomorrow(Sunday).I'm gonna fill it up,and figure it out,so count on it.My buds are curious as well.

jfanton-I was told that as of October it would be about 6 months before Arlen Ness built one for a 05 as well.That sucks!
I'm waiting,but I might just stick a K&N in til they get em.

Just checking in to see if you've had the opportunity to check your fuel mileage. Just curious.
