    I have a '99 GL1500SE with a 2001 CSC trike kit, at 3000 RPM I will average about 32-35 mpg. If I behave while under acceleration and braking I can bump this number by 2-3 mpg. Hope this answers your question.

    Mixed riding (1/3 local - 2/3 highway) we get 34. On the recent trip to the NE Rally, got 30 pulling the PiggyBack (loaded pretty good). Barbara's 1200 is very similar (w/o the trailer).

    1997 Goldwing DFT ( uses original Honda rear ) Pulling a loaded trailer riding 2 up ( total rider pass weight 295 lb ) this weekend on he way to TTNE rally doing all back roads under 55 MPH we got 36 MPG . Doing the same thing Highway doing 75 MPH we got 30. One up riding with a Harley group on all back roads following the pack at 45 / 50 MPH got 39.5 ( my best ) I think a few of the Rich running Harley's in front running so rich they added to my gas mileage
    When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

    I never watch gas mileage, not on the motorcycles or cars or truck. It just isn't that important to me. The important thing is am I having fun. I don't worry about Disneyland tickets I just pay the price and have fun.

    I like to have at least a rough idea what it's going to cost for a trip. My wife and I both get around 34, she's on a V-twin Spyder RT-S and I'm on a TriGlide.

    the reason I keep a eye on the mpg it to see how the old wing is doing, if mpg drop I need to look at why, air filter, gas filter, plugs and so on

    Here is a piece of news. My Tri-Glide gets around 35 in Florida. My wife's Stallion gets around 33. When we go north the mileage gets better in George and North Carolina. I get around 38 she gets 35. They say it's because of the different blends in different states. This happens everytime we go at least 10 trips over the last couple of years.

    Doesn't ethanol decrease mpg? Maybe less ethanol in the states with better mileage? Or how about ambient temperature differences? I don't know...

    I'm riding a 12 Wing with a new Hannigan kit. Check mileage at every fill up. Getting 36-38. No trailer. Before that had a 04 with a CSC kit. Same mileage

    I'm getting around 35 on my 14 Tri Glide on two lane roads, but when I hit the four lane and 75 mph it drops to 33-32
