Nothing in that kit is essential.

I recently priced the essential kit for my fat bob. Broken Down, you basically get the belt buckle for free, as the sum of the parts equals the sum of the whole essential kit. no money saved unless you're dying to have that belt buckle.

For the $$$ they're asking for the kit, I'd rather have the belt buckle than a PLASTIC KEY FOB.

I'm told that the buckle adds about 1 1/2 to 2 more horsepower but only if you have aftermarket pipes.

You can feel the extra power when a carload-a hotties pull up next to you smiling.
