Talking Took the bike this morning...Mileage a little LOW!!!

Well, I took the 138 mile round trip to work today and my butt only hurt on the return trip back home as I was leaning back more to get comfortable (damn stock seat sucks even w/ the buttpad). Low fuel light kicked on at 120 miles, about 20 miles out and I went straight in to fill up. I got about 41 MPG and was thinking that was kinda low...It is a lot of two lane blacktop w/ a few twisties in between but mostly I was doing about 70-75 in and about 65-70 home. I've been hearing reports that people have been getting high 40's to low 50's with these bikes but the best I've seen so far is 44 MPG out of this one when it was new. So what's eveyone doing to get the awesome mileage ??? Bike is a '06 C50 w/ a 21" Memphis Fats shield, Cobra crash bars w/ footpegs...Zed
