Both do the speedlimit eassy , neither slows down going up hills . I havn't checked the MPG on the 883 yet ? but Ls get 55-58 ish.

That's pretty low my friend, stone stock except the air box door deleted and a free flowing exhaust, mine got in the 70s consistently (commuting), better on longer trips when the head was decoked.

As it sits now, averages 36 mpg... Roll Eyes

I kinda went a little nuts modding it.

I did put in a 160 main jet .... You know the law "if ya want power ... Ya got to throw some gas in there ! But I did drop the low speed jet down to a 42.5 to help-out with the MPG thing. Seems like I read on this site somewhere that might work , so I tried it and IT DID !
