Paughco frames, rolling Chassis
kits and custom gas tanks
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). A
swingarm, pivot blocks and shaft are not included
with the FXR style frame, but are sold separately by
Paughco.
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.

Axed tanks

Industry veteran Ron Paugh sees his Carson City,
Nevada based company celebrating its 45th
anniversary this year – as seen by the range here,
he has come a long way from the first batch of
primary covers that he made in the 1960s in his
father’s engineering business

Spectro
Suspension
Cleaner
SPECTRO Oils of America
used the V-Twin Expo to
launch two new additions to
its product line for 2014 Suspension Cleaner and
Golden 4 Semi-Synthetic
20w40. Both of the new
products have been
formulated due to customer
demand.
Spectro Suspension Cleaner
is an aerosol cleaner that is
said to quickly remove
grease, oil, dirt and grime
from suspension
components, and any metal
surface, without leaving any
residue. "Spectro Oils’
Suspension Cleaner is a
direct result of dissatisfied
customers,” said Dave Miller,
President of Spectro Oils of
America. “The launch of this
new product was due to the demand for a
higher quality cleaner of suspension
components by our dealers. This fast drying
formula interacts with the oil film, leaving a
clean residue free surface."
