Oh, I agree, a good cleaning costs so little and solves so much and potential

I think you should just clean the carbs for good measure, you only have two

The Pacific Coast shares an engine with one of the Shadows, so I'm thinking
that it should be getting at least 50 miles per gallon itself. I don't know
why mine doesn't and with all that Tupperware, it isn't so easy to find out.

Two cylinders should be slightly more efficient than four, in terms of

Twins have a smaller surface area: volume ratio than fours of the same

They are also more likely to have larger valves, reducing pumping losses

I don't really know, I just thought that this is one obvious difference

displacement, 2 cylinders will obviously be bigger than 4, and I think this
tends to give you more torque at low rpm. But I don't know why this will

Interesting point. Four cylinders are doing the same work as 2, each of the 4

Yep, SE side. I just use regular, haven't really experienced any pinging. I
don't ride much if it's hotter than 95F though, which is pretty much the
entire month of August. It's cooling off now though, I got lost between

Joey, if you read it carefully, it does not say "foreign competition." It
says HD is facing "increased competition and foreign exchange remaining a
headwind." In other words, Polaris is selling bikes to guys who would have
bought Harleys, and the dollar remains so strong (foreign exchange) that
Back in the 60s I had a Honda 150, Benley I think it was called. The tank held
.77 imperial gallon and on trips from Hamilton where I lived to the coast (70
miles) I could make it without having to fill up. Figured it got over 100
imperial mpg.

At this point I figure if Harley were in serious danger of going under
Polaris would lay out a chunk of change to buy them. Getting the chance to
be THE American motorcycle manufacturer would be guaranteed to make their
investors salivate.

Slow steady roll on/off motion with the throttle is the key to riding
smoothly. And is mandatory on a 100hp+ bike as throttle control is the
hardest part of riding them.

You guys think the government would bail Harley out again if they tried to go
under? Until I bought my nighthawk I had no idea that Harley almost went
bankrupt in the 80s. Tariffs on imported bikes saved them big time. It's
actually the reason I ride a 83 650 and not a 750. Pretty cool stuff.
After I typed it out I really felt a little...dumb.
I sit right around 3k rpm at 50mph in OD.
It would only make sense that if I'm sprinting at 70-80 in OD that my rpms are
probably around 5-6k. Which means more work=more gas. Even if I'm not
accelerating, I normally shift between 3-6k rpms in
My 92 750 gets about 45 mph.
