O2 Sensor part number
I broke the front f#@$&-g oxygen sensor trying to tighten down the exhaust flange nuts on my 2016 Roadster. So far whole I love the look and performance of the Bassani but my God did they ever put stuff in the wrong place. You can't even fit a standard 1/2" socket between the O2 sensor and the flange. I was just trying to use a ratchet carefully I might add and barely tweaked the O2 but I guess it damaged it enough to cause it to fail. There's visible damage to it as well. Anyway I'm pretty upset, but I need the part number so I can drop another $150 on this gigantic POS. I've had this bike for 3 weeks and have had nothing but problems, this will most likely be my last Harley. I know I'm the one who broke the damn thing but I'm telling you I barely barely nudged it and it bent just a tad. Wonder what would happen with a little road debris...

As the torque setting for the header flange nuts is so low I use a 1/4" drive socket set. On the rear I can use a long extension and on the front looking at it the left I use the long extension and the right no extension.
I can't even visualise getting anywhere close to touching the O2 sensors.
Just for reference there is a guy here sharing his Iron Butt Rally experience and his Sportster has covered over 250,000 miles. I doubt he would still be riding it if it really were a POS motorcycle.
I think you just need to think about how you are going to tackle a job before leaping in and breaking stuff.

It's a combination of an aftermarket part putting the O2 sensor location in a terrible position and a fragile part to begin with and yes I'll stand by my assessment that this motorcycle is a POS. It has 2000 miles on it (i'm responsible for only 450) and has already needed a voltage regulator, which it sounds like is very very common, a rear tire (weird split which did not appear to be road hazard related), it's seeping oil out of the heads and cylinders bases already, and it's literally screams OVER the aftermarket exhaust if I ride it when it's over 105 outside which is everyday. Now the tire kinda and the o2 sensor i'll chalk up as my fault, but for this thing to be seeping oil already is garbage. Tire could of been a bunch of different things and I barely and i mean barely nudged it pulling the ratchet off apparently that was enough to fudge it up. It's cool when it runs it's great, when I can ride it it's great, but when you've had a bike for literally 3 weeks and have already had to fork out nearly $500 to fix stuff it's frustrating. When the o2 sensor comes in I'm going to install it and head on over to the dealer and see what they can do about the oil seepage problem or they can go ahead and issue me a refund on this lemon.
