103 mpg
The bike was dyno'd by myself & Paul (owner) at Street Rider of Reno, my old shop. It has several dyno runs on it & then I tweeked the tables to dial in to the rpms where I wanted more fuel or when I wanted it leaner.
Its not your typical wide open dyno & then a canned map tossed in. A fair amount of time went into dialing it in to my riding style.
But I have to agree, the "Aero" windshield may have added several MPG to the numbers !

Bought my 2011 FLHTK in Nov 2010. 11669 miles traveled and have bought 337.964 gallons of gas.
That works out to 34.52 mpg lifetime.
Couple of lows 27.08 and 29.66 once each, two up loaded and strong head wind.
Few in the 45 to 47 mpg range loaded and two up, best was 47.11.

If you are riding a 2007 or newer with a 103" engine that (brace yourselves) has been professionally tuned...you should expect mid-to-upper 40's. I've got guys that are afraid to use the throttle who get 50+ and guys that use it a lot that break to 40, but that's about the extent of our range. Doesn't matter if we built a 120hp 103 or a 95hp 103, they're all in the same range when tuned by our dealership.
I'm sure Fast Aire can agree...nothing replaces having it properly dynotuned by a knowlegable technician.

My 2011 RGU is stock and has about 4200 miles on it now. I have been getting from mid to high 40's on mainly back roads. Interstate at 65 mph gives me 47-48. Yesterday I took a combination straight and mountain roads for a 345 mile ride and got 50.7 mpg. I have not been hard on it and have done mostly solo riding with light loads. With temps in the 70-90 range, I have been getting more consistent mileage. Cooler weather in the 40-50 range gave me mid 40's during break in.
