Default RE: Bike is home!!!!


ORIGINAL: 77Tulsa

Ride on and enjoy! Sounds like the enjoy part is a no brainer! Just curious how it is looking on the gas mileage?
It's probably not a fair number, but seems to be between 38-40 mpg. The map is only 40%, then I revert to the previous map over that. The grin factor is way over 100%! Even though the builder said to keep it under 3500 rpm, I use every bit of it! It's really not as bad as it sounds.......I can go absolutely as fast as I want and never get over that. You can pass cars, go up steep hills....it's hard to describe other than WAY MORE POWER than before. Harleys should come from the factory with this much power. I am going stir crazy to ride and get some dyno numbers! I know it will be good......but hoping for maybe a pleasant surprise......
