I will get some pics up and you be the judge. It could be as simple as what your roads are made of, last time I was in flordy they had ground up sea shells mixed in with the pavement, that is hard on tires. I ride on wet roads and that may contribute to longer lasting tires....
Hahaha!! Rear tire...thats funny BB, 2500 if Im lucky. I dont drag race or even drop holeshots. I go so slow that sometimes school buses even pass me. My problem is in the frame and no one, including Phil from Daytec and BDM Tampa could help me find the problem. As for the mpg, about 45ish I guess.Fix the leak and don't be surprised if ya still get 28-32mpg, if ya ride it like ya stole it!
Wait till ya see the mileage ya get on that rear tire!:2thumbs:
Do you live at the top of Mount Whitney? What mileage do you get go back to the top?
I get exactly 30 mpg on my 05 Chopper DT with a G-Carb and 117ci S&S with TP coversMilage like you guys are seeing is because the 03's had the small 107, the 117 are much bigger, more powerful and use more gas
:roll:
No I'm actually in SC in the upstate. But I am running a custom built 124 ci bored to a 128 ci with a s&s 654 cam, BD spiked air cleaner and FSD Hotrod straight pipes. But even before this motor was put in on my 117 I was only getting about 92 miles to a tank of gas.
What's your boyfriend's name?
???not sure how to take this one??? My first reaction is to say your daddy, but not sure what your actually meaning by your question. Not sure if you actually looked at my info or post but I'm a dude, so no I won't date you.
No it is actually a S&S, super G carb, not sure which jets because the motor was built at S&S's old speed shop for someone else who ended up backing out of the deal so I got it for a steal. I do know the paperwork that came with it said that it put out 140 HP tho. When I had it installed I had to contact Baker because of the 120 HP limit on the DSSC and had to have my transmission beefed up and add a primary belt drive just so the transmission even beefed up wouldn't crap out with that much HP. Baker said my transmission will now withstand 142 HP. So as long as I don't ride it like i stole it all the time I should be fine. But with my gas mileage and running 103 to 110 in it at somewhere near $5 a gallon who could afford to ride like they stole it. LOL
What did they do to beef up your gearbox? I'm sure there are others that are interested. Thanks in advance
I know they put a different main shaft in that was hardened all the way though, they drilled some orifice out, but not 100 percent what all they did, the shop dealt with baker directly, and I know I had to go to a primary belt drive with outer bearing support. I know the shop had my motorcycle from March 2017 till Feb 2018 doing everything they had to do. Installing the motor, rewiring a few things, the transmission, the belt drive, breaking it in to a degree, testing, setting up, changing ignition system to a thunder heart. But I can say besides gas mileage, it was well worth what I paid.
I completely misread you post. Everyone was talking MPG and I read that you were getting 100mpg not 100 per tank. Duh. 87/100 per tank for your setup should be expected. You pay the price for the extra fun and it sounds like you're happy to do it.
