Default Side License Plate Mount Question

I want to buy a side license plate mount, what I want to know is if the 2006 XL1200's have a 3/4" or 1" rear axle.

Thanks a bunch!
Clayton

I read something just today about a new 1" axle on all the new Sportsters

Yeah, what Tx883C said. All sportsters have the 1" axle since 2005.
