Default I need some help with o2 sensor plugs!!

I just bought a set of v&h straight shots and need o2 sensor plugs because my bike is carb'd. So my question is do I have to pay $18 for to little plugs or can I just go to autozone and get some sort of 18mm plug?.

those bungs are nothing special. if your autozone actually carries an 18mm bung, then you're lucky. If not, they are all over ebay for like $5

Nope, the thread is M18 x 1.5. I would be very surprised if you found bolts that size in a hardware store!
