Sooooo.....

Have 1600 miles on the sled and I am now thinking about perfomance mods.

Will a slip on exh./pc III com./kn filter/ jumper mod., dyno tuned etc. lessen my gas mileage? I know that this is all about getting the best perf.out of the bike but need to know about mpgs! Any input would be awesome.

Ride safe

My gas mileage is pretty shitty right now but that's what you get when you want performance over economy.

I'll get 40 all day if I cruise at 90ish. If I really start pounding it that dam light will start blinking after 90 miles or so
