| Following up on Dennis' 'Removed the J-Costa' post:
5000 rpm @ 70 mph (on interstate hwy @ sea level) using Dr Pulley 28 gm Sliders, Dr Pulley HiT Clutch, & Darkside rear tire.
Very recently I've gotten as high as 58 mpg with this set up --not doing 70 mph though.

| I have the 28gr sliders and I am right at 5,000 @ 70 mph also. I don't get 58mpg since I ride fast but when I ride the slower curvy roads at 45-55 I will get 53-55 mpg. |

| Interesting. I am running the J Costa and at 70 mph I am usually turning around 5,400 to 5,500 rpms and I usually average around 45 mpg. |
