I apologize if I am robbing this thread but I have to ask about the o2 sensor issue. I had problems when I first put my slip ons on my bob but I just put V & H ProPipe 2 into 1 on my bike and couldn't get the damn o2 sensors in without them leaking no matter what I did (ok, part of it might be that I am a girl and have never worked on my bike alone before). I called Keith and they sent me 02 plugs for under $15 and I was able to completely eliminate the o2 problem completely. Was cheap, a piece of cake to install, and no more tying those damn wires up. Defin. worth the $$. As for the instal of PC, again, easy as pie. So easy a girl can do it. Just a bit of a pain to move everything around - such a tight fit - but keep some extra zip ties on hand and you'll be golden. Good luck.
My new exhaust came with the O2 plugs, so the hardest part, though actually simple, was just pulling out the harness for the sensors.
Actually I did the PC, exhaust, intake and a few other things on the same sunny day in my backyard patio over a few beers, so toward the end of the day, things got slower.
what are you all doing with the O2 sensors after he plugs are in?
cutting them off?
or removing them back out of the way?
or is there a way to totaly remove them from the harness?
i will be doing this soon when my ride is returned from harley,
thanks
Once you remove the o2 sensors from the exhaust, they are actually disconnected - or will be once you follow the directions from fuelmoto for your powercommander. You no longer use the o2 sensors with your PC unit so I just completely eliminated them by using the plugs. I'll just hang on to them in case I ever decide to get rid of my bike but I cant see ever wanting to lose the bob. I guess I'm just a packrat and keep everything I take off. The front o2 sensor is very easy to eliminate. The back sensor, you just have to follow because it is placed under the seat with all of the rest of the electrical goods. At least that is how it is in my bob.

Yup, that's what I did, too. I also kept all my take-off parts, exhaust, wiring, pistons, cylinders, et al.
Just wondering where you guys are putting the plug connector that the PCV instructions show behind the rear cylinder or did any of you mount it under the ECM? Doing my brother-in-laws 2010 street bob and I did not like where it went per the PCV instructions. Seems like it will get blasted with water there. I want to re install under the ECM like in the V&H video some one posted earlier in this thread, looks like the cables are the same between the PCV and V&H, but would like to know if any of you guys actually put that plug under the ECU before I tear it all apart again. Also what is involved with taking the battery box out. Softails are so much easier!
Excellent video. Thank you! Putting the connector on the shelf below the ECM frees up a lot of space. Thanks to Don for the suggestion of removing the battery and battery shelf. It made the install MUCH easier! Also thanks to nossaintss for the dielectric grease suggestion.
Finished my install at midnight. Can't wait to take it for a ride this afternoon.
