This is my first build sorry will get photos on soon and I am after a bit of guidance. I would like to hardtail my xs650 my self and was thinking if I could use the original swing arm and make a new top section of the frame like a hard tail but weld them to the swing arm. Would the swing arm be strong enough to handle having no springs or would it just break throwing me to the wind? Any other ideas would be grate to have onboard open to all.
