my FXLRS 114 run fine wjth only Vance & Hines Twin Slash and quiet baffles inside, good low end torque (better than stock I feel), nice rumble, not too loud, no decel pops and mote than 50 mpg...
I don't want to change anything as I don't like to ride fast and aggressively...

I would do it as your bike will run better. Bikes from the factory come too lean to meet EPA standards to start so any tune is better than what the bike came with. I did a tuner on my totally stock FXLRST and it ran better. Better throttle response and smoother. There are a few videos I've seen and with slip-ons and a tune you can get an additional 2 hp.

Correct fueling and a good throttle connection always improves rideability.

in fact, I've already talked about this on the topic dedicated to the best exhausts for FXLRS, and I know that a good tuning can improve things quite a bit, but as I've already said, I find the engine pleasure of my Low Rider S 114 exceptional and I'm a bit afraid of losing that, because since I've been riding my LRS I realize that my 107 Heritage, which has a stage 1 with an FP3, is much less pleasant and has a few operating shortcomings despite several autotunes. I'm going to part with it because I can't afford 2 bikes, but also partly because of this...
