Ok, so I'm starting to feel like a major flip flopper here, lol. So I talked to the guys at fuel moto, and they recommended the micro fueler, their billet a/c, and for pipes I am going with v&h straightshot. Yep, that's right, straightshot. This is what I wanted from the jump, but was quite disappointed that it wouldn't be an option because of the different o2 sensors. Well, the guys at fm told me that with the micro, I wouldn't even use the o2 sensors so I asked if straightshot would be an option again. They offered to call v&h and confirm this setup would work, and lo and behold they said they will bolt right up, and the sensor delete allows me to use them. Talk about excited....I kinda felt I was settling for the bigshots as it wasn't the exact look I wanted. I really appreciate the FM guys for going above and beyond and contacting v&h to make sure. That's type of service will earn my business every time!

Just got to thinking...what is going to fill the empty o2 sensor holes? Won't that screw things up if those are left empty? Totally didn't even think of that till now. Any thoughts fellas?

You plug them. But not sure about this system with no o2 sensors. Seems like to me milage would suffer a lot. Couldn't be near as good as would be with a full system. And that's a big price just to use the exhaust you want. Just my 2 cents.

When u use the micro tuner it takes the o2 sensors out of the equation. It does all the mapping in their place. Btw, would just getting a 12 mm bolt and screwing in in there plug it well enough?

I know what the micro tuner does but it's like putting a throttle body injection system on a previously carburated car. Without the o2 sensor there is no feedback to adjust the air/fuel ratio. It's just a flat program that does what it does no matter. And by the way you'd need 18mm pipe plugs I believe. It's your bike and you can do what you want I just don't believe in these types of systems. Good luck.
