m261398 is on a distinguished road
98 Evo FLHTC, SE heads, SE air cleaner, SE-3 cam, alternate between modified stock mufflers and old style touring mufflers (65967-96), CV carb with Dynojet (44 slow, 170 main, needle 3rd notch).

Have gotten as high as 48mpg (only once, may have had tailwind help that day), as low as 38 (two-up 75mph), and usually averaging somewhere in the low to mid-40mpg. Two-up seems to knock about 2mpg off. I check mileage after each fillup almost religiously, and I try to top off the tank to exactly the same spot every time (just to the lip of the filler hole). I try to ride conservatively for mileage, but allow the occasional blast through the gears.
