Question Anybody have info on Hardtailing a twincam?

Shot in the dark here. Has anyone seen, done, or heard of hardtailing a twin cam? I've seen an evo softy done but, not a twin cam. Thinking about doing my nighttrain. Thanks

No actually it wasn't one of my usual dumb/smartass answers. It just wasn't a good answer.

I was actually gonna suggest welding on a tail section like we did in the ole days but don't think that would work with these new softail frames.

Ya IA thanks for that. I'm not digging leaving the 40lbs chunk of swing arm pivot in there. GS Motor Co. Made a frame but, Ithink they are out of bidnuss.

Story looks like they only do a twinkie A frame not B. I plan on doing the frame work myself. Should only cost about a hundred bucks. I'll be keeping the front half of the stocker.
