Mpg
11 Limited, I have noticed I don't get as good mpg as the 96" SG did. When it was stock I got 50 MPG one time. After the stage 1 I routinely got better than 40 on the highway. I've got to keep it under 70 to get better than 40 MPG on the 103.
Don't have a stage one on it yet.

First, I qualify my results by saying that my gasoline is non-ethanol, 93 octane, when it's available. If you are using gasoline with ethanol mixed-in, your mileage WILL decrease. Go read Consumer Reports article "The Ethanol Myth" and draw your own conclusions.
Before my stage I, I was getting around 40-41.5 mpg. Now, after the Stage I (FM 2-1-2 header, FM stage I air cleaner, Jackpot Pro-Touring mufflers, and last but not least, Rev Per Pre EMS) I still get a touch over 40. If I am on a long interstate trip where I might not drop below 70 very often, it slips to 38-40. Still very reasonable. And interstate fill-ups usually contain ethanol, so in those cases the mileage slips another 2 or 3 mpg.

2011 flhtk. I have 10831 miles on it and according to my gas cubby app my average was 40.26, highest 47.15 and lowest 32.26. Started to show some improvement at 1500 miles,but as I got more comfortable with the bike I think my riding style may have become more aggressive
