PAUGHO’S FXR style frames are available in both stock and custom configurations. They are said to retain the factory handling characteristics and are available for stock, 180 and 200 rear tire sizes and accept a variety of drivelines. Frame rails are fabricated from 1-1/4in tubing and backbones feature a 1-3 /4in tube with .250 wall thickness. Stock width frames accept 130 tire with a 1-1/2in wide belt, while the wide chassis can take a 180 tire with 1-1/2in belt or 200 and 1-1/8in belt or chain. Wide chassis require use of a custom Paughco swingarm and 9in fender (sold separately).
Alongside its frames, Paughco is also able to offer rolling chassis packages. One of the rolling chassis options available is Sportster-based, and feature parts chosen to eliminate compatibility issues. The LB (Low Budget) Bobber is a bolt together package using an ‘86-‘03 Evolution Sportster engine and related hardware. The version shown features one of Paughco’s traditional Sportster frames, stock length chrome Paughco Springers, tanks, seat, fenders, wheels, brakes, bars, lights and more.
The LTC (Long Time Coming) Chopper, is a traditional Sportster powered chopper that uses a wide tire rigid frame with 2in in the top tube, 4in in the down tubes and 40 degrees of neck rake. The chrome 18in over Tapered Springer is fitted with a shock absorber and bolts to a complete brake, wheel and tire assembly. All the hard parts are included leaving just paint and wiring to finish.
The custom tank range from Paughco includes ‘Axed and Dished’ designs, which have a style popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s. They feature integrated mounts and are fitted with bungs for cam-style caps and late model 22mm petcocks. Available in four capacities; 3-, 3.5-, 4.5- and 5-gallon.
