I have a 18 FLTRXS and just bought exhaust with no baffles a power commander and want to set it up but not sure how to disengage O2 sensors without an eliminator and cannot find online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oxygen sensor eliminators are going by the wayside ever since the EPA clamped the ***** of HD a few years ago. Now-a-days you have them new tuners that alter the tune over CANBUS and pair with your phone.
You can still find oxygen sensor eliminators, but good luck finding a company that'll support a tuner with one. Everyone's afraid of being sued now.

It's also because it's not necessary due to tuner advancements. Back in the day, signals coming from the O2s would screw up the already hijacked (piggy-backed) tune (power commander) so eliminating them was key.
Today's tuners are mostly ECM based and allow for the O2 data and choose to either ignore it or use it in some way while making it's calculations. Some later models of piggy-back tuners also began to allow for them to stay connected as well.
I wonder if the model of power commander the OP has allows for them to be fully disconnected or requires them to be connected.
The last version of PC I used did not come with eliminators because.. it didn't use them. It just ignored the O2 data. That said, not sure you could just disconnect them and not get codes popping up.
Eliminating the O2 sensors is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Use the right tuner and the bike will run better and the fuel mileage wont take a huge hit.
