This was no big deal, however the bike didn't sound harley enough. I put on Rush slip-ons, 2" baffle. I immediately popped on decel. My right leg still burns on a hot day.
I ordered V&H true duals, K&N air filter and a V&H Fuelpak. I don't have them yet, my ebay salesman is a bit sluggish.
Do you think that I can leave the Nightrider fix on? Nightrider.com says it is compatible. If I can leave it on, why should I......Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Hi Jim.

No, take them off.
There not wide band oxygen sensors, they are rich biased oxygen sensors. Instead of centering the AFR at 14.7:1, they center more like 13.9:1.

With that in mind, when there Vance and Hines engineers test and set up the programs for the Fuelpak, they are setting it up with stock oxygen sensors, a O2 that is off center, will through the mixture off, run far too rich and then set codes and or foul the plugs out.
