sporty hardtail conversion

I'm looking to buy my first harley. I finally have enough money and can afford something better than a cheapo *** bike. But I'm still limited in my budget since i'm in school. I'd look to get a softail or dyna glide but I've only got enough to get a used Sportster and then fix to my liking. The major thing I don't like about the Sporty is how high it sits. I want something more low slung. So I was thinking of getting a hardtail conversion which will drop it 4 inches in the back.

But I've never rode a hardtail before, and I wanted to get some opinions on it. I don't want to be pissing blood after I ride 2 hours to the coast.

Also any advice on what to look for in a good used sporty would be appreciated.
