Default O2 Sensors not connected

Ok, I know I'm not the smartest nut in the bunch, and I can't believe I just noticed this. I was washing the bike today and noticed that neither of the O2 sensors are connected. Is this because of the PC-V?

If you have a Power Commander, Then yes.
The PC has wired O2 eliminators.
Most people use zip ties and just tie them up.
I bought O2 Bung plugs for my pipes, Dealer had them for 20bux, and I didnt want wires hangin, so I took my O2's out and installed the plugs.

When I put my Power Commander in I had to unplug the O2 sensors from the bike, the PC came with wire plugs so the ends did not get road debris in them.
