2008 EG Standard, all stock w SE slip ons and Nightrider IED.
Did 48 mpg twice, Once with a strong tail wind and once putting around at 45 - 50 mph.
Did 24 mpg once holding the throttle open as much as I could.
WOT is kinda like a 100 mph cruise control.
But mostly 35 - 38 mpg w very little in town riding.

33-36 with 2009 EG Classic on the freeway with two up. 42 mpg with two up running 55mph in 5th gear. Not much of a difference.

I averaged 42.8 mpg on a cross country trip in early September. This was with two up and loaded. It would have been been better but I was tweaking the auto tune as I went. MPG started out in the low 30's and improved to a high of 48 mpg. Running interstate at 75 was 40 mpg + - depending on wind and speed.

Before the Fuelmoto package including Rhinehardt slipons, i got 48 to 50 on my 09 Ultra Classic. Now i get 42 to 45, but im not complaining. I get on the throttle a lot more than i use to.

Thank you for all the responses. It seems to be all over the board. Got 34 yesterday for 240 miles with one up.

I have the Fuel Moto package. If I am on a long highway stretch, cruise control on, I'll get around 45. Mostly, I will get about 35-38 mix of in town, freeway and country roads. I tend to twist the throttle more than I should.

You'll also get a little better with 45psi in rear 40psi in the front tires, also lighter weight oils in trans and primary maybe 1-2mpg more, but its hell on the clutch, and trans in hott weather tho.
