The frame may be the right length if it is for the short wheelbase /5 but I have heard that the lower mount for the R65 is horizontal where it attaches to the frame and the /5 is oriented vertically. Not sure but you need to check carefully.

+1 with Drew - the lower mounting hole that bolts on next to the passenger footpegs may be the sticking point, though maybe you can fabricate an "L" bracket that would handle the directional change required if there is enough space ?
