Has anyone ever heard of a "broken pipe" error?
I was riding and the bike definitely felt different, it had no power and could not get above 4000rpms. It felt like someone was trying to hold be back as I tried to go faster. The check engine light came on after about 2 miles, I pulled over and checked ECM Droid (I was also logging), when I click read codes, no codes pop up but the words "broken pipe" flash at the bottom of the screen. When I got home and check the codes again after turning the bike off, I got code 13, "rear O2 inactive" in the stored codes section, nothing in the current codes section.
I had just cleaned the Intake Air Control Sensor ( http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-For...tyX-XB12Scg/Cleaned-Intake-Air-Control-Sensor ) and had issues with backfiring which I think I resolved by tightening the velocity stack clamp ring.
I also just replaced and calibrated a new (after market) Throttle Position Sensor, part# TPS4129 from AutoZone.
I've been having issues with this bike for a while now, but this is all new.
Here are some of the other posts:

Why is the universe against me?!
I think I am just going to take it to HD.
Any advice would be great.
