Paughco – keeping the flame alive
Legendary Carson City , Nevada based manufacturer Paughco keeps the custom flag flying , probably offering more in-house made own brand custom parts and accessories , of more kinds , for more Harley models and applications than any other manufacturer in the world . Their billet aluminum triple trees are designed to minimize the handling and front end flop problems associated with altered front end geometry . Specifically , these 6-degree trees were developed to accommodate a number of their most popular chopper frames with 45 ° neck rake . Used in conjunction with these " raked " frames and appropriate length extended front ends , the 6- degree offset provides near stock “ trail ” dimensions , which in turn virtually eliminates radical front end flop . Paughco trees are CNC-machined from 6061- T6 billet aluminum , polished and show chrome plated . Other model Paughco billet trees are available in stock , 3 , 5 and 6-degree rake configurations for both wide and narrow front ends with 39mm and 41mm legs . Their extensive line of custom and OEM style replacement oil tanks covers just about any application ever conceived . Shown here are their new universal round chopper tank , replacement seamless wrap-around , 3.5 wrap-around and custom FL / FX replacement with battery box . Offered in sizes and with mounting hardware to fit just about any stock or custom chassis , both the new and Legacy oil tanks offered by Paughco are available with or without oil OEM filter cartridge and come supplied with fittings and caps ; they are all fabricated from US steel and plated on site by Paughco . These vintage stock style replacement steel floorboards for early and late Big Twins feature nonskid rubber and chrome inserts and are accurate reproductions of those found on 1936-1964 Harleys . Available in black and chrome and with or without riveted inserts . Paughco ’ s straight leg Swedish style chopper frames for Twin Cam power engines are available in a variety of configurations with choices from 2 ”, 3 ”, 4 ” or 5 ” backbone stretch and 4 ”, 6 ”, 8 ” and 10 ” in the front legs ; also available in stock and ultra-wide versions to accept up to 180 series rubber with belt drive and 200 series with chain . The standard models accept 130 series tires with 1.5 ” conventional final belt drive . While Paughco recommends no more than a 40- degree neck rake for use with stock trees , builders can go to 45 degrees when used in conjunction with their new 6-degree billet triple tree for an “ awesome , almost power steering like feel in the front end .” The easy to install solid brass drag pipe tips seen here are a precision fit into 1 ¾ ” and 2 ” straight cut drag pipes - simply slip the tip into the pipe , drill a hole for the retaining screw and secure in place . There are two styles available for 2 ” pipes ; short curve , long curve and tapered are offered ; sold in pairs . Finally , these new hardcore chopper dump pipes for right-side drive and Softail models are the latest additions to Paughco ’ s designer series exhaust - designed by Jaun Z , the pipes provide enhanced performance and “ the cool chopper looks and sound any red blooded chopper freak lives for .” They are 2 ” in diameter and dump just behind the transmission . Heat shields are available for the RSD version ; the Softail model is offered with or without oxygen sensor bungs for 1986 through 2008 machines . All pipes are finished in durable , show quality chrome .
