Ive got a 2009 softail CrossBones and want to set her up for longer trips at the mo' she is does 3000rpm @110kiloflogitz with about

270kiloflogs per tank. I would like to stetch the tank to around the 300 to 350 mark if possible.

Would it be better to change the primary gearing or the final drive set up?

Or am I just pissing in the wind and wot I got is wot I got

Hi,

If stock i reckon you would be getting about 330-350km as is sitting on speed limit, when i got my bike i went from ballarat to mt gambier and back in a day, its 312km one way, i got there and still had a few litres in tank when i filled up

This was country open roads sitting on 100km roughly

Thanks

Id have thought the same but at easter the wife and I went for trip bout thousand kiloflogs and by the time i got to around 250k mark the bike recond i was

at the last legs eg. fuel light and low k on the trip meter.

Change into 6th, mine will sit around 2550 in 6th at $110.(103,2011 Fatboy)

Good luck with that, Im lucky to get 240k's outa mine.
The cams and head work restricts the range, but how good is the smile factor!

I guess what Im saying is, you cant often have it both ways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

6th Ha ha!

I did notice it had lots of gears!

As far as I know the cross bones is geared down compared to other models (but I cant remember were I read it).

Spose I ought to find that out first! then work on changing it!
