You can buy a set of solid struts to replace your rear shocks cheap on Ebay. Instant hardtail.

solid struts. I have them on my '10 wide glide. slammed the *** end and lowered the forks in the trees an inch and never looked back.

Mine are 10.5" If you know a machinist or welder throw them $20 and call it a day.

Nope. Balanced engines are used when the engines are solidly mounted to the frame - has nothing to do with making a rigid. Dyna's are rubber mounted engines, as are touring models and since around 05 or so (IIRC) sporties.
