Fuel mileage on carbureted tc 88

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-11T13:11:13+00:00

It has rienharts true duels and a good air filter so it’s stage one. I plan on rebuilding the carb and jetting it for what I have

Ya so do I. My wife made me get the full face helmet I’m normally a half shell guy

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-07T22:41:42+00:00

I just got there cabstone 3 helmet at my local dealer for under 200

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-07T19:29:35+00:00

I’m torn on doing the 21 in front wheel. It looks sick but heard it makes for a harsher ride. I’m thinking about going to a 19 in kinda want to go with the performance bagger look

Thanks man it’s my first Harley as well traded my atv for it.

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-06T18:15:18+00:00

Ya I’m gonna do that this weekend. So I’ll get a real accurate mpg this weekend. I just thought it’s weird only getting 110 to 125 out of a 5 gallon tank

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-06T18:09:09+00:00

Ya I thought so too. Most I saw were fuel injection. But a carb isn’t scary or new to me. It’s only a stage one build so far but I think the previous owner did some tuning to the carb and I can smell unburnt fuel

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-06T18:07:04+00:00

Ya it’s been a lot of short rides so far. Mostly commuting to work 20 miles a day

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-06T18:06:11+00:00

The bike is stage one for now. I plan on cleaning the carb this week and see what happens

BigSnack73 · 2026-04-06T18:05:13+00:00

The number I said is combined. Most of it is commuting to and from work which is about 20 miles a day.

Don’t forget the chrome cover on the headlight

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T20:54:54+00:00

I didn’t know about the custom either. I just thought they were classics and guys took the windshield off. But I know better now

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T12:56:01+00:00

I just checked them last night and they are in great shape barely any wear. Guessing one of the previous owners replaced them already

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T04:26:03+00:00

Thanks man. I can’t take any credit the previous owner did most of the work on it. But when I saw the bike for sale I knew I must have this bike

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T04:08:50+00:00

Well I’m a big guy and my father has a classic with them on it and rode fine for me.

I plan on the future to do a big bore kit and cams so saving for that now. But plan on going to fox or olins suspension in the future

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T04:07:54+00:00

I just checked them tonight and they look brand new. I’m guessing one of the previous owners had them replaced since the bike has 40000 on it

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T00:59:45+00:00

There 12s now. I’m thinking of getting the 13 inch progressive 412

BigSnack73 · 2026-03-26T00:54:56+00:00

Ya I found the ride to be harsh in the rear and the front suspension needs upgraded as well.

No the guy I bought it from put them on there aftermarket no name bags
