The weather/time finally lined up and I got to put a couple hundred miles on the new Gen III, V&H Monster Ovals, and the SE air cleaner. I had drove it back from the shop, and to work once, but could never run it for an afternoon.
About a third running 55-60 and slowing down for towns, etc, about a third on the inter-state 60-75, and a third the back roads to home, thru some Mtns and curves, running as hard as traffic would allow me to safely. Nice performance improvement, especially in the low end. Seems to have more oomph in the mid-range (didn't get to check top end...stock was about 100, if speedo was correct) and I got 40mpg with stock Odometer. I'm thinking that will translate to 43 or so on a nice, steady cruise. I'm going to tweak the Green down a half step, and the same for the yellow, and up the red a half and see if that will give me more full throttle boost, while upping the mpg a hair....It was getting about this same mpg, except worse performance stock...So, I'm happy if this is it.
