Default Opinions on O2 sensor plugs that richen fuel

While talking with an avid Harley mechanic yesterday the topic came up on what air/fuel mixture module was most preferred with his professional opinion. I told him that Im installing a screaming eagle heavy breather and V+H big radius pipes and never plan to do motor work. He told me about O2 sensor plugs that trick the bike to believe its running too lean and adds some more fuel to compensate for the added air flow. He couldnt remember the name of wbo made them but I think he said "Exide". I dont think he said Exile but i can be mistaken. He said the pair of sensor plugs cost approximately 180 bucks as opposed to have to re-do it again. Just trying to add some fuel most cost effectively.

He could be talking about XiED's made by Nightrider. And they are less than $100. I have them on 2 of my bikes and I'm happy with them. Do a search.
