Was originally thinking hardtail, but now I'm leaning more towards extending the swingarm about 3 inches and still using the shocks. Similar the 650 you have on your website (I checked it out!). I'm not much of a welder (want to learn, but no time yet) and the PSW hardtail for the $400 is so expensive, so I thought it would save me some $$ and I would still get the look I wanted.
