Paughco 'Easyride' frames and Swedish style chopper
THE range of frame options available from Paughco
now includes Swedish style Chopper frames with
Easyride chassis.
A Swedish rigid frame was introduced by Paughco
over a decade ago, and the company has expanded
the style to include several Easyride versions that
feature the practicality of a chassis with rear
suspension.
Available for a wide variety of Shovelhead, Evo,
four- and five-speed combinations, the chassis can
be ordered with neck rakes of 30, 35, 40 or 45
degrees, backbone stretch of 3in, 4in or 5in and with
4in, 6in, 8in or 10in of stretch in the front legs.
Additionally Paughco offers the frames in three
different widths including Extra Wide to accept 240
series rubber, with 11?2in belt or 250 with a chain;
Standard which allows use of up to 130 tires with
belt final, and Wide, which is for 180 tires with belt
or 200 with chain final drive.
A second suspended frame option from Paughco
is its straight leg Easyride swingarm frame, which,
like the Swedish style frame, is adaptable to a wide
variety of applications including Shovelhead and Evo
engines with traditional four-speed or five-speed
Softail transmissions.
Available with either OEM style or Chopper neck
section (solid plates on both sides of the neck), and
wide or standard versions, the frames offer comfort
and style. Paughco offers the frames with or without
Fat Bob tank mounts and several length front legs
with rakes of 30-, 35- or 40-degree neck rakes.
Alongside its expanded frame range Paughco is
