I went for a 100k[60 mls]ride after having a norman hyde top put on my America and re-tuned.I was running rich as it was tuned in Brisbane before and I'm now 1,500 ft above sea level.Anyway,my mechanic guy removed the shims from the carb needles and tuned them.My fuel consumption has gone down I'm now getting 20k p litre [50 MPG]again as I was when I first got the bike as opposed to the 17-18 KPL I've had lately.I was running pretty steadily at 120KPH.The pick up seems a little quicker too which is good but I hit the throttle stop at about 145 KPH [about 90 mph]I have had the bike to 100mph so I hope it was a bit of headwind making the difference.It would have got to maybe 95 if I wound it out.At least up to 130KPH is pretty quick and it's not too often I want to go over that.
