Was out for a 400mi ride last week. Went to Lake George for a cup of coffee and my favorite roast beef sandwich. Traveling each way at 65-75 MPH I was getting 58MPG up from my best of 52 without the shield. Blinking reserve came on at 175 and filled up at 198mi at 3.4 gals ( 58.3 not bad )
It makes sense, there's far less pressure on my body and my neck was not hurting from the wind.
Now the seat has a lot to be desired. Did ride the 198 straight but my ass was burning. Could not wait to get off. Needless to say the seat went out to Seth Lamm Monday morning for some work. Should have it back in about 10 days. Back and forth with one fill up not mt ST's mileage but not bad either.
