Gas Mileage 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
After riding 100.miles today on 1/2 tank of fuel fo which I think is really good mileage ?? I'm begining to wonder if the guy who installed my pipes and done my re-jet really followed Dyno jet's instructions as for stage -2 with after market air cleaner and pipes it calls for the 195-main and the 37.5 pilot with the needle on the 4.th clip.

Or maybe he just told me that he re- jetted the bike but didn't ? He said at first that we didn't need to re-jet just to install the pipes but I told him that DG-Hardchrome reccomended re-jetting after installing their pipes and then he said we'll lets do it.

All of the 100.miles were country roads 60-70.mph
I guess I need to pull my plugs to really find out if I'm jetted right or not ? At this point I'm confused because recently I was only getting around 60-70 miles on a 1/2 tank maybe it was due to the fact that it was a mix of in town riding and some highway.
