On My 2005 Harley Sportster 883XL I manage a guestimate around 55mpg

Tough to be accurate with no fuel gauge and no real mark to refference a fill point. I am close to putting 2 gallons in when hit the 110-120 mile mark. on the odometer counter. This is around town spirited driving smacking the rev limiter here and there.

Mods done are Screaming eagle pipes and a stock replacement K&N. I needed to let out the idle screw half turn due to running too lean I also swapped out the Bars for a much more narrow look over 6" more narrow. I flipped the mirrors down since pics were taken because they were no use in the upright position. In the underneath position I can see below my arms and are quite usefull I am not a fan of Bar mirrors look





My first Bike was a 2004 Buel Blast No Mods 65-70 +mpg no hypermiling just average riding tuck position over 60mph
