this was from a dealer in business since 1954, are we being scammed?

You need to find another dealer or let him do the mods so he can replace the burnt pistons.

The O2 sensors will keep the air/fuel mix at the stock setting of 14.7 to 1. Very lean but it will keep it at that ratio when you add pipes and a/C. Nightrider.com has a $100 fix that will adjust the a/f to 14.2 to 1 or 13.8 to 1 and will make the bike much more fun to ride.

Dealers are amazing in their poor information. The stock O2 is a narrow band much cheaper than the wide band one that would work as the dealer thinks!
