tried to find some up close pics of your bike at the neck so I could either make you a lift or help you make one yourself.

said, they are easy to do. So try and make one yourself before you spend the big bucks. I might have $5 in mine.
Do some searching here for the DIY method. Mine took no more tools then you need to install any tank lift.

While it would be pretty easy to make your own, I bought my 3" kit from DK...
