I guess I'll start. Little over 7000 miles. Just curious how they are holding up. Anyone else have any numbers? As far as fuel mileage since running Brents V-Gauge; I am seeing about 34 miles/gal on an average tank, both city and highway combined. Donald

15,000 miles, 1320bb with extensive head work, 140 rwhp & 98 ft lbs of torque. Doing steady riding, 50-60 mph am able to get 40 mpg consistently. If I` am riding hard, ie burnouts or running full throttle thru the gears gas mileage will drop down to 34 mpg.
Any big bore timed and tuned properly should be getting similar numbers on fuel mileage.
