Default Stage 1's with a 103" MPG

What kinda MPG you guys getting with the 103 and a stg 1. IE air filter, header pipe and slip ons and "tune or cert"?

The reason I ask is Ive just gotten within the last 3 weeks a 13 FLHTK and love it. ( I left behind a 05 FLHTCI with tons of eng work, 95"kit, SE heads, 10.5 pistons SE 203 cams Billet cam plate, V&H staggered Big shots W/baffels and a PC III and tune) and was getting 42-45 even 2-up. I did the heavey breather V&H touring power header and Hi-output slip ons and they supposedly did a tune on it.....Im gettin 38 MPG consistantly after 2k....
just wandering if I can get it retuned for better or thats about it??

Before I did anything, I would get clarity on what a "supposedly did a tune" is. You didn't mention a tuner, are you referring to an ECM flash as a tune? If so, your other bike with the PC III probably had a much better tune.

I've been averaging between 38-40 mpg mixed city/hwy so far, since "completing" the Stage 1. A LOT depends on my right wrist, tho. And for me, I commute in heavy traffic so that has an impact as well (e.g. sitting in traffic then hauling *** around cages in the commuter lanes vs. leisurely rambling along country roads).

My riding Pal with a 2011 FLHTK 103" S/E air cleaner, V&H power duals and M/O's gets the exact MPG I get ( tested over thousands of miles) avg. 43 MPG cruising at 65~70 MPH on 2 lane roads.
he has NO TUNER- bike runs fine.

( I have an 09 96" Ness BS, no cat header, tuned Nightsticks and XIEDS, same speed, same MPG)

Wel I originally was gonna ask for input from only people that had the stock ECM....then I figured that that doesnt always work out.
The stealership supposedly re-mapped my ECM...but we all know how that works out. Since it still has the O2 sensors it should adjust itself for that but......??

See thats why I was askiing Im thinking like Frog13 said If I go with a tuner and get it dyno'd that way I can prob get a good 2-3 better MPG....but I dont want to void the warrenty just yet.....the ink is still wet on the sales contract...lol

Where do you get yours serviced at and do they have a problem with the PCV? And did you stick with the stock head pipe since you had have them cut and welded on?
