Default Cycle Shack Slip-ons Crossover mount?

Bought a pair of used Cycle Shack Slip-ons and they arrived in the mail this weekend. They're in decent shape, and if I don't like them, oh well--I'll just order a different pair.

My question is: these slip ons do not have a crossover tube mount on them. I have a '13 Iron and, as I'm sure you all know, there is a cross over mount for the stock pipes. Did I buy the wrong pipes? Can I still use them? Anything else I should know about them if it is ok to mount them?

Thanks for any insight you all might have--sorry if this is a dumb question, I just couldn't find any other information about them out there. Appreciate any responses you might have.

Your bike should have a crossover mount on the back side of the pipes which is black in color. The cycle shacks should mount right up.

If there the right pipe they should fit and come with holes fit over your crossover pipe. There are two crossover ports at least on my bike and my cycle shacks came with ports on the pipes. I replaced my cross over gaskets as well when I installed them.

Could have been the pipes were made to be run without the crossovers. You say you bought them used, so I bet the previous owner still has the plugs that fill the holes on the crossover mounts.

If you don't have the crossover port in the pipes, they won't work.

Thanks, guys. I figured out that these are for older model sporties. Looks like they're going in the classifieds, haha!
