I have a 2008 heritage soft tail that has 2 02 sensors running to the exhaust. I came across some Vance and Hines pipes that came off a 2006 heritage that doesn’t have the holes for the sensors. Can I put these pipes on my bike and just not hook up the sensors?
You can get bungs welded into the head pipes so you can use the sensors. Not very expensive to get that done.
Unless you have a tuner that will work without the sensors, they are part of the system and the bike will not run at its best without them. You can get O2 eliminators but you need to compensate for the lack of sensors with the tuning program.
