Default XIED help...

I purchased a set of Xied from a forum member and need instructions on how to install it on my 2009 Heritage. Does anybody have instructions and can you email me a copy?
Any help would be appreciated.

You install them through the existing o2 harness plugs.

Trust me the instructions that came with them are just as good as none .

I think most softails are the same. Your rear one is probably under the seat, by the battery. The front one is probably under the voltage regulator.

The best way to go about it is follow your o2 wires back from the exhaust and find the plug.

Then you unplug the o2 sensor plug, and the XIED goes "in between" the 2. So it plugs in to your factory harness, and the o2. Then it has a Ground that comes off that can go to the ground on the battery or any good ground on the bike. For the rear one, I went straight to the ground on the battery. For the front one I went to the bolt holding the Voltage Regulator to the engine. (tested it on mine and it was a good ground)

That is it!

Oh and they are color coded, one is beige/tan, one is black IIRC. I think the biege is the one in the front under the voltage regulator. They will color match the factory plugs.

Find where your oxygen sensors are mounted in your exhaust headers. Now trace the wires from the oxygen sensors to where they plug in; that's where your XIEDs plug in. One end plugs into your oxygen sensor plug, then plug in the other end of the XIED to where the oxygen sensor plugged into. Easy-peasy...
Sorry Crawl...we must have been typing at the same time.

My rear connector was under the oil jug the front one was behind the voltage regulator cover very simple to install.
