If your talking about knocking out the baffle plate, no it has no effect on them. In fact pulling the entire baffle tube out should not have any kind of measureable effect on them. It might make some of your low end torque go away, but it won't bother the O2 sensors.

I believe that you have it reversed. Wired in parrellel like he has reduces the power (current loading) going through the LED. Wired in series the power has no other path to take but through the LED.
What you are doing is confusing voltage with current. Voltage is like velocity, where current is like volume. The LED can handle the velocity, but it has a hard time dealing with the current or volume.

Well, neither of them is really a mod, just bolt on. And they aint cheap. $80 for grips? We can all open up the J&P catalog but that is not what this thread is about.

Actual photos of the visor

whether it's a mod or not is probably dependant upon who you ask? IMHO anything you do to your bike that wasn't like that when you bought it is considered a mod.
