Let me see if I have this right, o2 sensors disconnect from bike, not stock pipe before I remove them, then remove stock pipes. O2 sensors can go on new pipes before the are put on bike.

So basically, dig out old gaskets, put in new ones, using original clamps, insert pipes and keep everything hand tight until everything is in place, tighten to spec, connect o2 sensors, wipe down pipes, ride, then come home and check everything again and re tighten if needed?

Which is 10 ft lbs, they don't have to be tight.

Another good reason to get the manual for your bike so there won't be any question about specs.

Thank you for posting this. I will be getting a manual, but I was going to try this tomorrow after I get out of work tonight and want to have all my ducks in a row.
