So I decided not to build my own hardtail for several reasons and have one ordered custom to the exact measurements I was wanting. I ordered my tail from Robert at Elswick Cycle. I was quoted 3-4 weeks on the build time and received it 4 weeks and 1 day, not bad. I am more than happy with it and think it turned out perfect.
The weird shape piping that is in place of the engine is an engine stay that I welded up to keep the frame from flexing when I weld the hardtail on so that the engine will fit perfect.

The specs on the hardtail are:
- 2" Stretch over stock, I would have gone stock height or even 1" over but needed room for the battery and electronics
- 4.5" Ride Height, 5.5" is stock, with the 2" lowering kit on the shocks this bike looks perfect and level
- Drop Seat design, that is why the top bar has a bend in it
- Height based off an 18" rear wheel
