I have the 103" kit with SE 255 cams and SERT. I get 43 mpg and it doesn't seem too lean to me.

I just added V&amp\\;H Basic Slipons and their Fuel Pack to my '08 FLHR.&nbsp\\; Rode it today in 105 degree heat down here in Tucson.&nbsp\\; Got 50 miles to the gallon too.&nbsp\\; Great sound, great ride.&nbsp\\;

There are obviously, several routes that one can take to improving engine heat by richening the mixture.&nbsp\\; Do you folks that quote mpg stats here know what AFRs your bikes are tuned to?&nbsp\\; Just curious.&nbsp\\; Thanks!
