| Following up on Dennis' 'Removed the J-Costa' post:
5000 rpm @ 70 mph (on interstate hwy @ sea level) using Dr Pulley 28 gm Sliders, Dr Pulley HiT Clutch, & Darkside rear tire.
Very recently I've gotten as high as 58 mpg with this set up --not doing 70 mph though.

| I have the 28gr sliders and I am right at 5,000 @ 70 mph also. I don't get 58mpg since I ride fast but when I ride the slower curvy roads at 45-55 I will get 53-55 mpg. _________________ Ride safe, JeffR 2007 Silver Wing (30,000 miles) 2005 Majesty 400 (sold 12,500 miles) 2004 Reflex (sold 3,500 miles) Givi Windshield, top case, vista cruise, power commander, dr pulley sliders, air hawk seat pad, (J.

| Interesting. I am running the J Costa and at 70 mph I am usually turning around 5,400 to 5,500 rpms and I usually average around 45 mpg. |
