 ;) Sorry but never looked up under your 1500 so not sure.

Drift1 here is were I am now, I picked up 2x2x14" sq tubing and 2x2x14" angle iron, the angle iron is a great fit, the sq tubing proved to be too high, and even if someone were to hold the bike upright it still is a really hard fit, so I am going to go with a 1" flat stock and see if that will work for me. I did some as a mock up and once it is welded I'll epoxy some rubber inside the angle iron to protect the frame.
You can also see the cut out for the joint on the left side of the machine is there and it fits nice and tight. Good thing is I have at least 2 months to do this, have it for March so I can have the bike ready for the spring and time to ride so I can take my time and make it work right......if all else fails call one of my USAF buddies and have him ship me a Black widow lift.......$69.99 is not that bad......
