i hope not too but its a possibility
I do not recall ever seeing a cross over tube on my bikes exhaust systems, but that was to many years ago. I am sure it is to create a equalized exhaust pressure exiting the pipes, or is it just a noise reducing concept ? Interesting question and I wait to read the answers to it.
Cross over tube
They are to balance the exhaust pulses for a smoother exhaust Flo. You will need to fine tune a little with out one. You will also be allowed to run a shorter exhaust using the same tune as with a equalizer.

WOW, that is clean and lots of room to move around, sure wish my double car garage had more than walking space...…….. I know I just have to shit can all the stuff in the way, but it is the wife's mostly and "it is fine were it is" so she says. Live is wonderful, and better if you have a Trike or some type of project.

Shift linkage
Playing with the shift linkage, ordered another arm from eBay so I can also foot down for up shifting and will try foot pegs at 8" long to keep my foot away from the exhaust pipe. EDIT This is to see the location of the shift rod, will it miss the upper frame and exhaust? The bracket needs to be 2" from the side of the frame and then 6" more to keep my foot away from the exhaust, I'm thinking 1 1/4 OD x 1/8+ wall...

If they did go down the center under the engine, than a short 30 or 60 degree bend to make them come out the side, behind passenger seat would be ideal, but behind rider seat would look sporty. Wonder how load open pipes on that engine would sound. The width of the front end does allow you top bring out the foot pegs as far as you need, key is long as all is safe and comfy for you.

...Now who is thinking outside the BOX, I like it, Thanks for stopping by Andy I like the input, BUTTT I can not afford the exhaust work and there is no room (cg) under the frame. My goal is to use as many parts as possible from the Rebel, My LOVE is in the building, strong and safe, Then build another something, (side car?)...

Hi Stace, Good to hear from you again. Like Clint Eastwood once said, " A man needs to know his limitations", Thin material and I do not get along, especially welding and of TIG..., BUTTT I can not afford the exhaust work zip wheel and a welder
I have not done it yet, but my TIG manual says I can weld razor blades together, crazy, but it can be done.
Like anything it takes practice and the proper settings on the welder. Myself I am still learning the welding trade. Wife want me to practice more so I can do "yard art" for her, LOL..................

history has proved you need to "seem to have misplaced my welder" unless she is going to sell it for BIG $
Looking good, at least it is moving forward. Oh I am trying to get things done, but just slower than ever at this point.I really enjoy watching your work progress and it has been helpful to see it all.Thank you for sharing all of it with your fellow member's.
