With my Honda VT500 Streamliner I got 73mpg on the 225 mile 2012 Vegas to Barstow Vetter Challenge. I will be doing some small improvements to see what can be achieved with no gear ratio changes [due to shaft drive] and then I will look into having some gears made for the VT500, to change the primary gear reduction by 20% - 30%...

I have no plans for changes to the engine or the drive line other than going from 15/43 sprockets to 17/34 sprockets. The rear frame is so much more rigid with the new support struckter, bolted onto where the passanger foot rests used to be bolted on. I am wondering at this stage how the bike will behave from stand still, especialy starting on hills, with the 30% reduction in rpm.
