Re: Gas Mileage

other than the obvious tune up stuff- like a K&N air filter (I got one four years ago, love it).
Run tire pressure at max rating on sidewall. Use cruise control where possible.
I use my control where ever I can run 40MPH or more without stop and go.
Highway, I get 22mpg if I go 55mph vs. 18 mpg @ 70mph
At higher speeds, keep windows closed and run AC or vent- dont carry more crap than you need when running around- you'll be limited always as youre shoving a big square faced box thru the air-
Narrower tires?

And finally why doesnt someone make a cool air intake like those ones I see for just about every make of ride out there?
