dropped the harleys off to get serviced after work today. I averaged 14ish mpg according to dash command running about 60mph most of the trip, with both of them in a 12ft enclosed trailer. It also held 5th on the hills like there wasnt anything back there. Super happy with that but i think the unloaded mpg would get better with 35s.

My 06 with 35s is lucky to see 12mpg and that's just driving to work and back everyday on flat 4-lane doing 60.

Mine gets around 17 now unloaded but its got 4.10s and 285/70r17s so at 60 im turning almost 2000rpm. Even on the steep hills around here it doesnt struggle at all. Im curious to see though, i know the 35s will be heavier and more tire to spin but it feels like it could benifit from it.

I didn't realize yoy had 4.10s so you should be in pretty good shape whem you swap to 35s. Ive still got 3.42s so that's what's killing me but hoping for 4.56s soon.

Yep. And a 5 speed, i think my fifth gear is .73:1 or something like that.
