Not in a spot to send pics. But there are some YouTube vids that give you rough locations. Front plug mounts underneath the bike toward the front of the frame. Rear connects around the right side of the battery and runs under the oil tank. Best bet is to locate the sensor on each stock pipe and follow the wire.

they are very easy to see on the pipes, just look around the backside of the pipes about 12" down from the heads. you may need to get a special 12mm o2 sensor socket- makes removal much easier. otherwise, take the pipes off first, hold them slightly away from the bike or have a friend hold them, and use a metric wrench to remove them.
tip- when you install them into the new pipes, spin them counter-clockwise 6 or 7 times first to put a negative twist on the wire. hold it like that, then insert into pipe and tighten. that way when you tighten them into the new pipes the wire is not twisted.

You will because the pipes have the holes for them. There's a good install video on YouTube on a dyna...worth watching. Also to piggyback off la dog, I actually unplugged mine from the harness before removing the pipes just so I wouldn't have to deal with it later. But seriously check that video...very helpful

you need them because the harley EFI computer requires 02 sensors for operation.

I just traced the wiring from the pipes to where they plug in under the seat. I disconnected them from there and removed the exhaust. Once the exhaust was off I took out the sensors, put them in the new exhaust, mounted the exhaust and ran the wires back up and plugged them in. I found that was the easiest way when I changed the exhaust on my wifes Fat Boy Lo.
