BusaBeater 2 had the FJ2000 on his bike and really liked it. He can give you much more information about that one than I can.

I currently have a Power Commander PC-III on my 109 and have been quite pleased with it. It's pretty easy to tweak and there are quite a few maps which already exist for different intake/exhaust set-ups.

PCIII. Main reason you can add and remove fuel.

On average, driving within a sane realm throttle wise, what are most of you getting in miles per gallon? I am really interested in highway mileage more than through town, but if anyone has beakdowns on both, that would be great. If not and I am taking a highway trip, what is my approx. range....ALL responses from whoever reads this would br greatly appreciated. I have a TRE installed if that makes a significant difference. Thanx for any and all input. P.S. When does a junior member upgrade to the real deal?

I'm glad I could post to myself and get a world of information from all you guys, thanx, it's a great help. The knowledge will be priceless on my next road trip as I can trailer and still have a full tank when I get there.........

I just got back from a 850 mile trip mileage was about 38-40 running 70-80 mph. I'm guessing at 65 or less 41-42?

Sorry...I was busy with something MUCH more important. Girlfriend had me over last night & cooked dinner for me for my b'day. So...yeah.

I don't usually ride at a sane pace when I'm on the highway. I'm usually running around 80-85mph. I've gotten as little as 115 miles from a tank (put in 4.8gallons) and as much as 175 (put in 5.1 gallons).
The wind in my face on the first and the wind at my back, tucked in & behind a van for the second.

I'm also gigantic and that costs me dearly on mileage as well as power...
