My wife rode her '72 for 14 years until she got the Superglide. I had
my '74 for 6 years until I bought the Shovelhead. Both Sporty's
always ran in the 40-45 range. I had installed 4 gal tanks on both
bikes and they would run at least 150 miles before hitting
reserve(which was about .6 gal). Lessee 150/3.4=? Hmmm, my
calculator says 44+.
Oh, and niether one of us is adverse to dragging ---- in the turns
either...even on the bigger bikes<g>.

fancy tank mounted map holder upside down.
