Default 2012 Fat Boy Lo problem code

Installed a Vance and Hines shortshots staggered system, Vance and Hines fuelPak, and a K&N stage 1 intake on. Now the check engine light comes on and stays on. The bike runs great!!! Ive check the codes and come up with P0051 which is a rear O2 "open" ....and It wont clear. Does anyone have any ideas on this????

Just had the same code pop up on my 2012 Fatboy Lo. I have the V and H Big Radius 2 into 1 installed.

Any word on if it's just a defect in the 02 sensor or if the V and H exhaust could be causing the sensor to go bad.

Rear O2 sensor that I already knew was bad. They asked if I got anything on the sensor while installing pipes, I told them no. So they needed to order the sensor and I go back in to get it replaced under warranty next week.....

Could be an exhaust leak. I got a front 02 code when I installed mine. I put in new screaming eagle gaskets and was more careful when I installed and torqued the second time. No more code after that. If you don't torque the flange nuts correctly you will get a leak and a code.

My code ended up going off after I tuned back the tuner a little bit. I tuned it back went for a hard 60-90 mph ride on the interstate and the engine light went out on its own.
