I had the Cobra 2000FI on my 2005 Vulcan Classic 1600 for around a year. Although it helped the performance, I couldn't get the 3 pots adjusted to help the fuel mileage increase. My stock mileage was around 40-42 MPG. After I added the V&H pipes, Cobra processer and BAK, the mileage dropped to around 34 MPG. I expected the mileage to drop with the added gain of HP and allowing the bike to breath, but when I was "twisting the throttle" hard, the mileage was less than 30 MPG. Since I've added the Power Commander and map, the performance is even better, with excellent throttle response. The best part is the mileage is back around 40 MPG again, and only drops to 36 MPG when running the bike hard. For my 2 cents, the pluses are well worth the higher cost.
