Seems to be anywhere from the 50's to 60's in many cases.

sweet!! thanks dude.
i guess thats ll kinda on riding style, i have the uncanny ability to make everthing get bad mileage.
do you think installing your pipe would help fuel mileage because it made the engine more efficent??

Not necessarily. Much depends on your riding habits. "Normally" when people install aftermarket exhaust systems, they are on/off the throttle more because of the performance increases (whether it be power or sound). Also, with our new full system, we recommend rejetting. So opening the fuel screws, raising the needles, bigger main jets, all potentially add up to using more fuel.

I got 57-62 mpg in "normal" riding. It didn't really change w/the exhaust, except that it sounded, looked, and ran much better. Good stuff. Great bike.
