Fuel milage with 95" kit

I have an 04 TC88 with a Screamin Eagle Stage 1 kit. Factory downloaded map from the dealer. Sounds cool, but not alot of punch. Gets great fuel milage though. 43+ every tank. Question is, if I go to a big bore and/or new cams and head work with a Power Commander, blablablabla, whats gonna happen to my milage. Im guessing I'll kill it right? I just got the bike this fall, so I'll prolly wait til next year to bore it,but I am curious. Not sure I totally care about milage if I get it to run like a banshee, but I would like to know how bad the milage will be.
thanks

Some get good milage and some not. I get 43 consistantly, even when getting on it. Gotten 50 before.

I have 95", head work, cams and some more stuff. If it's built and tuned right you should get good milage.

When mine was stock I was getting 55 mpg on the highway. After the 95" upgrade and after it was dyno tuned I'm getting 45 mpg now.

OldMsocko is an unknown quantity at this point
On my 06 Ultra I had the BB with SE204 cams and head work. My milage was 45 to 46 mpg and most of the time I ride 2 up and the bike is completely loaded.

We hear back that our clients get 45-50 mpg. Our 117" touring kits, as we are told, get 50 as well.
