Default UGH!!! Rust Sucks

I will make this quick and to the point.

BLUF:

1. 2014 Street Glide FF Edition

2. Changed the pipes to some LAF "skirt Blower" "Ground Pounders" you get the point...

3. I ride in the rain and realized the O2 sensors rusted shut on my existing 2 into 1 setup and for the life of me could not remove the front sensor....

4. Currently have had to cut the O2 wires and completely remove them.

5. Current bike set up: LAF installed, Stage 1 AC and FP3 and no O2 Sensors.

FINAL:

Can I ride without the O2 sensors and use the best "auto tune" map the FP3 will give me till I get some O2 sensors in the mail or garage the F**K out of it till the sensors come?

PS: this sucks

You need o2 sensor. Unless you know how to do an "open loop tune"

is there a option to do a open loop on the FP3 and if so is that an easy step? Thanks for your input.
