So I ran the bike to work twice this week. A nice 40 mile trip down Hwy.
101 in the Bay Area, SF to Sunnyvale. I am thinking I need a better
seat, the minimal Tyga racing pad isn't cutting it. Any ways...

At about 8K RPM my speedo (TrailTech Endurance) indicates 75 ~ 76 mph.
Bike has 14/42 sprox. What do you guys get? I am thinking I have my
speedo calibration off a bit. It felt more like 65 ~ 70. Couldn't find a
car to pace and watch their speedo!

Also I got about 137 miles (on speedo) before switching to reserve. On
my last fill up, I had just turned on reserve before filling up and put
4 gallons in. That is about 34 mpg. Does that sound right? I was
thinking more like 200 per tank. My bike has HRC heads, Tyga GP pipes,
HRC jet kit, reeds, pod filters, 010 card.

The reserve is about a gallon right, maybe .7 or .8 gals? Listed
capacity for a MC28 is ~4 gallons.

Comments appreciated,
