Default ? on MPG

I have a 10 FLHTK with the 103, I installed the Fuel Moto 2-1-2 headpipe, Jackpot mufflers, A/C and PC V already set up from Fuel Moto. The bike runs great but I just ran out the first tank of gas and I only got about 32 mpg. I was riding solo with no extra load does this sound normal? I know lots of you guys are running this same set up what are you getting ?
thanks RB

Default I keep saying next tank

I am running the tw6 cams, Bub TDs, SE heavy breather and this huge smile every time i Ride. Each fill up I say, next tank I will see the best mileage I can get, but it seems the smile factor always wins out.

Yes 32MPG!

m50; fuel mileage comparison's tough to advise b/c there are so many variables. 32 can be decent for one person/set-up, but poor for another. Also, I say don't avg. off one tank - give those upgrades time to settle. Good to run at least 3-tanks before measuring & go from there. If the bike's running fine then you might not squeeze much more from current set-up...could be a tad rich where you can tweak the PCV a bit, but I'm sure more members w/similar set-up can advise what worked for them. Good luck & nice scoot!

I would expect more milage out of that combination. My 106 would adverage 38-42 and im hard on the throttle. Have it dyno tuned.

I will check it out for a couple of tanks to see if it changes, I was not hard on the throttle at all just normal ridin. Mostly 2 lanes with about 50 mi. on highway at 70 mph. I do like the way it runs though much better than stock.
