ok so im starting my new project on my savage. and i need some opinions on hardtailing it. ive had the struts on it and dont mind the ride and love the way it looks lowered but i just cant deal with the way the struts look so my question is should i fabricate a custome hardtail rear end with the help of a few mechanically inclined friends or even maybe get it done by a shop ($$$$) or should i go with a sportster weld on hardtail kit and mess around with it a little and make it fit? is there a specific year harley that is close to the dimensions of the savage?i would like to keep stock rear tire to keep costs down the only thing i would change is the belt into a chain drive. i have an 88 ls650. thanks for the help and as always all opinions are welcome.

Thanks for the advice and info. May I ask how much tigman is charging you? Checked out the site everything looks pretty legit
