It shouldn't affect it too much. Alot of guys only lose 1 or 2 mpg. Some even have their milage INCREASE due to better effeciency. Unless horridly setup too rich it will be fine.

I have an Ivan's kit in my B-12 and went from 50 mpg (Imperial gallon calculations) to about 37 mpg.

Bike is a whole lot more fun to ride though.

I am not sure what he does to his B-6 kit. It is his needle valves that kill the mileage on a B-12. He may not replace them on the B-6.
