Gas Mileage

I have a 08 Lowrider with Vance and Hines Big Shots and SE Heavy Breather with Power Commander V. I am only getting around 41 miles to the gallon. Does that seem right or should I be getting better?
 
I was getting around 45 before the changes, all I had was Rush slip-ons. I thought I would get better seeing the engine is breathing better.

You must have some heavy engine mods or you have a hole in your tank...I ride mine fairly hard and,when new and stock was getting 49-51 MPG...:rider

ermmm no holes i am aware of yet:D i fill up every 2nd 3rd day when riding to work and back and thats 40mile max round trip on a 5 gal tank, i still have not got the motor tweaked properly, it runs stong and pulls 110ft/lb from 2000rpm to 5000rpm peaking at 115 means i can pull 4th gear and be hitting the limiter at 115mph, need the limiter lifting a little, but come Nov it should be even more :D
