RE: gas mileagesucks!!!
As the previous poster mentioned, I hope you have a race tuner or similar. If you do, you need to get your bad boy on a dyno and fast. Does the bike seem to be running well other than using twice the amount of fuel that it should? My '07 RK has big breather, SERT and pipes and I'm getting 42/44 mpg all day long.

If all you did was upgrade intake and pipes, that may be your problem. What to do depends on carb or efi. You need a fuel management system (fuel pak, sert, PC, something) to match up what you've got.

If it's carbed then you'll probably have to re-jet to match your high flow intake and pipes. .02
