For john

Hey John, when you get the 750 FD onto the special, check your MPG's. I am assuming It still has the original 1100cc's? I see that you and Todd have the 1179 kits and both of you haven't seen an actual increase in MPG's.....curious minds

I put mine on way before I did the 1179. I ride long distances, short distances, and my carbs are tuned well. I've just never seen any MPG difference in either type of riding. AND... I seem to get the same MPG with the 1179 kit that I did with the stock engine(s)??

Ethanol

I only fill up at Shell, there are two near home and work that are 100% ethanol free....about a year or two back I was getting gas from 7-11 a few blocks down Western and I realized my MPG's were suffering....The Bastards have it in their gas but did not advertise on the pumps. Now in Oklahoma, by law as of June 1, if you sell ethanol gas, you must mark the pump clearly.....JAT
