Dawg6..the guys at night rider have the solution for running 09 pipes on you bike. Inexpensive too. Around 30-35.00. I have a set still in package I will sell you at a discount. Look on their website , if interested let me know.

Roger that.....I had a weird chirpping sound on decel on an '07 I rode and it turned out to be a frame bolt beneath the right side cover.....I'm coming up on 1K pretty soon and I'll go from front to back torquing everything to spec....

Thanks all.

Well, after checking out their site, that would be an easy fix.....so do you put the bung 'adaptors' in the old '09 holes and the smaller sensors fit into them??

Yes....take right side cover off, you will c where sensors plug in...install new bungs in header, then o2 into bungs. All plug up...simple.

A word of caution with respect to any adapters for the new smaller O2 sensors...the 12mm sensors are very short and must be far enough into the exhaust stream to work.

2010 and later models extend the sensor into the exhaust only about 3mm and a reduction of just 1mm is enough to cause problems. A 2mm reduction could render the sensors useless and that might cause error codes.

So these adapters may not be an easy fix and may actually cause issues.

While most appreciate saving money, some of these "devices" could cause you to spend more dollars in the long run.
