Amazing how different all of our bikes are - for example, that mileage seems low.

I run SS exhaust, modified airbox / UNI, 130 mains and 45 pilots (about 2.5 turns on the screws) and get ~42 normally (a LOT of heavy traffic in the DC area commute). I just got 47 MPG at an average of 80-85 MPH (indicated) on a round trip to Richmond last weekend. Guess I must twist my wrist a little less.
