If the only type of meat you have eaten was cheap hamburger , that would be the ultimate end all cut of meat.Unless you can't afford prime grade rib eye.

Whatever is “ best bang for the buck” is subjective . If I were to have a choice between a open the flies only tune for $75 or a full tune for $350, I’d consider the latter to be the better bang for the buck. Beside seat of the pants, where else can you get an extra 14 hp for the difference of $275?
And, I say this after riding with a open the flies earlier tune for four years and a complete tune for the last 2000 miles .
The same goes for a throttle lock- I’d never trade my $800 mccruise for a $20 throttle lock, I’d much prefer that $780 to be below the left hand grip than in my pocket . By how well it works, I think it’s a better use of $.
Of course that’s just my opinion .
I think these mods make the bike feel like a different animal. My right hand no longer hurts at the end of a long ride, I get better mpg ( which is much appreciated on a long ride) and the bike has more power ( again , appreciated on long rides when the bike is weighted down with luggage).
. But, if you ever get curious and get a mccruise and a full tune, the $
spent on the schnitz and throttle lock is just a waste.

Elists? Hardly. I’m just saying it’s a waste of money to buy something, then spend more $ in the future. Spend $75 on a tune and enjoy it, but there is a good chance that you’ll how much better a full tune is, look at dynographs, then give and upgrade. Doing it right the first time would have saved $75.
Btw, tuning via programming with a power commander is inferior to a reprogram. One reason is that
Power programmer can’t touch timing. We all now know that the flies should be left in and bike be given a proper tuning; not a badge gimmick box.
The OP got a throttle lock to help on long rides, a flash that he feels is a pretty good improvement over stock and still has $1055.00 to put into suspension upgrades.
Sounds like a win, win, win to me!
It's all in how you look at it.

How do you know I haven't "eaten prime grade rid eye" ?? For what it's worth i have experienced OE cruise on a GW and Electra Glide..
I still prefer my POS vista.. for real...
My cc's purpose is to keep the speed at the highest setting possible and still cruise under the radar
Even in flat country a throttle lock didn't work for me.
Any remember the caterpillar o ring thing we used on the c10?
I want to know how all these bikes become wheelie machines. I don't think I have ever floated the wheel on my stock or flashed bike. What am I doing wrong ?
75 bucks will get me the two things I'm looking for;
Gear Based Fuel Trims Removed from Gears 1-3.
Secondary Throttle Blades Open More Aggressively And Stay Open.
And based on reviewers statements;
smoother shifting, which means to me that fuel shut-off on deceleration has been eliminated.++
I see people treating Schnitz Racing like a red headed step child, any body bother to look into this guys history? (Just a thought)
One of the conditions wife made for giving me the green light to buy a new c14 was that she get a tummy tuck .
There are two basic types: mini tuck and the full old school style . The surgeon said he generally doesn’t do the mini as it doesn’t save the client much $ and isn’t as good.
A mini is simply removing a band of stretched out skin, reconnect and it’s done . It looks fine. But, for a little more, you get the full.
In the full, after removing the flabby skin, the abdominal muscles are cut horizontal. Then a stitched up sort of corset is made, the muscles are pulled super tight.
The difference? The full gave a sculpted stomach, so firm that you could bounce a quarter on it. Our daughters thought it unfair their mother had a better stomach, despite the both of them being teens with no kids.
We are happy we spent the extra coin to get a much better result. I think wife would have been
happy with mini, as long as she didn’t meet up with someone with a full tuck. Then, she’d regret not getting the full deal.
The same applies to c14 tuning.
