I know there are a bunch of hardtail sections out on the market for Evos and Ironheads, but Led Sled Pat's hardtails are a pretty nice unit. There are so many 883 and 1200 Evo Sportys out there going for a song, if a guy wants to turn one into a "pay as you play" custom, the Led Sled section get you going in the right direction.
For a reasonable amount of money, you can hardtail your OEM frame, reassemble it with your stock components (save for a little narrower battery, and either a longer than stock belt, or a chain conversion), and ride it until you decide on your next steps.

To see the magic tricks (and a more in-depth followup, coming to the IW website), look for the Aug. 2010 issue of IronWorks to show up on your newstand very soon.
