This is what I did, cost me a box of beer to my engineer mate, $30 for stainless tube and welding and $1.50 for a 1 1/4" frostplug.... sure sounds better with the exhaust crossover pipe blocked, not louder just more distinct and punchy...

Got the center section cut out and steel pipe welded in but made it 20mm wider to give clearance for the gear change rod...

Tied it in place with cable ties and rope and a block of 4x2 so I could cut out some cardboard brackets in the right shape...

Gear change rod extended...

All painted up and ready to mount...

Mounted and finished...

And lastly but most importantly my new riding position...

Went on a 280Km ride yesterday and I'm lovin it, just feel so much more comfortable...
After thinking about this for a couple of years I'm so glad I've finally got it done, start to finish took 4 days...
Used the same brake line, just bent it to fit, not that flash lookin but will do for the moment...
