RE: 37.5 mpg
Well i,m averaging about 173 mile on 4.8 gals of fuel. My fuel light comes on at about 160 miles. That works out to be about 35mpg.
Thats with the following
SE Airkit
SE Slip ons
Stage 1 DL
PCIII not dynoed just mapped for mods.
Ultra Classic Fairing fork mounted.
Soft Lowers (Will be off in a week or 2)
Late spring and summer when the soft lowers are off I get another 5 or so MPG.

6 speed tranny?

With my '06 I have been running a tank to 185 miles before re-filling the tank. These are 90% highway miles with speeds between 70-75 mph.

RE: 37.5 mpg
Filled up my 08 SG this morning (see my setup in sig). 151 miles on 3.8 gallons = 39.7 mpg.......not too bad. I was down around 34mpg when I installed the Fuel Moto setup from Jaimie. I leaned up the PC in the 2-3000 rpm range (where I ride most of the time) and now it seems to have came back up. Can't wait to get it on a real road trip and see if it's any better.

I am getting 35-37 combined mileage.. That includes in-town, blasting down the highway at 80-90 mph and lane splitting through gridlock

RE: 37.5 mpg
I have felt your pain! My 2007 Ultra never got above 39 mpg when stock. Dressed or solo didn't matter.
I did the motor work (103) and stock pipes with Supertrapp SE touring muffs - 37 mpg.
Same set up as above but did the y-pipe mod on the stock pipes, gained about 4 hp or so and got back to 38 mpg. About 92 hp.
Put the Rinehart True Duals on, re-dyno'd, DUMPED fuel to this thing and gained 12 hp and got the mileage up to 43 mpg. I still can't really explain that but I swear to God, 43 mpg, checked on 4 tanks of fuel. Highway riding, some through town and the usual on ramp racing my wife still 43 mpg. Now I will say that this is with the bike solo'd out and not loaded with any gear. My 235 lb fat a** and leathers for cargo.
Again, can't explain it, didn't expect, it but awefully happy with it.
