I just bought a new set of V&H Big Shot Duals. The folks at Phat Performance gave me a great deal but unfortunately sent me a set of pipes for a 2009 road king instead of the 2010 set that I need. It seems that the only difference is the O2 sensor bung. The set I have appear to have a much larger bung than the sensors actually are. I have heard that you can run pipes without the O2 sensors as long as you have a fuel management system, just get a set of bung plugs. I have the V&H fuel pak. Dies anyone know if there is some kind of reducer available so I can install these pipes w/ my stock o2 sensors or do I send the pipes back? Can anyone offer some advise, I'd like to be riding!

 

How hard or how expensive would it be to change your O2 sensors to the 2009 size. And does the 2010 Vance and Hines headers have the catalytic converter in them? I'm real curious to know 'cause I have 2010 Road King and wanna change out my pipes too!

 

What would I do? I would send the pipes back and get the 2010 model for the new style 02 sensors. They changed to new and smaller heated sensors in 2010 touring models along with the map calibrations, they won't interchange.

About the only other choice you have is to plug the holes in the 2009 pipes and get a power commander then install their 02 eliminators.
