Default Ironhead hardtail decision

I just got my latest project which is a 72 sportster ironhead motor and a 74 sportster frame for a awesome price! First thing is first is I want to hardtail it with a bolt on hardtail. Prob gonna go with David birds from lowbrow because I used his hardtail on a triumph that I had and thought it was great. My question is I want a 6 inch stretch and a 4 inch drop. That's my style and that's what I want but can't seem to get a picture with those dimensions I was wondering if any of you guys can help me out and post a pic??? I looked on low rows site and didn't find one and searched a bit but nothing.
