PAUGHCO has expanded its extensive range of custom frame options with the addition of a RSD-300 drop seat chassis. Created for right-side drive transmissions and with a seat height of just 23.5in, the new frame accepts a 300-section tire. The frame features a 13⁄4in backbone stretch, 2in diameter single front leg and 13⁄4in diameter tubular swingarm. The chassis package includes a 1in hidden axle assembly and integral forward control mounts. The Paughco 131⁄2in fender, oil bag and solo seat seen with the frame are sold separately.

Other options include the Pro-Street, with 5in stretch in the backbone and 38 degrees of neck rake, and the chopper version that has 4in in the backbone, 7in in the front leg and 38-degree neck rake.

Similarly, Paughco has also extended its line of Springer forks with a new collection of tapered leg Springers, featuring the company’s exclusive tapered rear legs, which are claimed to offer superior strength and more closely resemble the original factory front ends than any other Springer on the market.

The latest legs are offered in sizes ranging from stock to 24in over in increments of 3in. Lengths 15in-24in over are supplied with three degrees of additional rake only.

The Springers can be ordered in either the traditional ‘Wide’ style, with or without the factory style shock, or as Paughco’s ‘Narrow Chopper’ design. While the standard finish is chrome, bare metal or powdercoat are offered as options.

Paughco is now offering custom and OEM style replacement oil tanks for many applications. Options include the new Universal Round Chopper tank, replacement seamless Wrap around, 3.5 Wrap Around and Custom FL/FX replacement with battery box. Offered in various sizes and with mounting hardware to fit just about any stock or custom chassis, the oil tanks are offered with or without OEM oil filter cartridges and come supplied with fittings and caps as noted in the Paughco catalog. All of the tanks are fabricated from US steel and plated in-house by Paughco.

The ‘La Rosa’ design saddlebags from Paughco are hand-cut and stitched from heavyweight leather. Designed for mounting to the left side frame rails on both rigid and softail machines, they fit with strap and buckle closures and measure 10in wide, 7in-14in tall and 4in deep.

ROOSTER Custom Cycles is continuing its re-introduction of the Perse line of components with the addition of the Girder front end.

Unlike conventional telescopic front ends, the Perse Girder fork’s leg does not change length during braking, which results in a reduction of brake dive under heavy braking.

The leg length of the billet aluminum Girder fork is calculated to allow 4in - 5in of wheel travel. Further billet aluminum is used for the construction of the triple trees, A-arms and axle blocks, and there is a choice of 3/4in, 1in or 25mm axle fitting. High strength 17-4 stainless steel is used for both the axle, and the steering stem and the left-hand threaded hidden axle is locked in place with a Perse ‘Pinch Lock’.

The complete front ends are supplied with upper and lower triple trees, steering stem, fork-stop, A-arms, legs, axle blocks with brake mount(s) for Brembo calipers, axle, integrated headlight, and a Penske shock. Fork blade options include plain, recessed dimples, through and through holes, or custom ‘tattooed’ engraving. Some finishes are available at no extra charge.

ROOSTER Custom Cycles has followed-up its re-introduction of Perse Performance parts with the launch of its Classic front end under the New School Vintage line.

The front end is centered around a Penske shock, which after consultation with Penske’s engineering department was decided upon as the best choice by RoosteR. Two options of shock are being offered; the entry level PS-8900 or the PS-8970, which separates high- and low-speed compression adjustment.

The fork itself can be ordered in polished stainless steel, powder-coated DOM steel tubing, or raw DOM tubing. All three versions use stainless steel fittings. The 1in diameter steering stem is cut from 17-4 precipitation hardened stainless and it has been designed to ensure that all of the turning torque from the handlebars is transmitted through it and not through the suspension. RoosteR achieved this solution by splining the steering stem shaft where it passes through the upper triple tree. For the lower end, a 3⁄4in shaft is threaded into each side of the lower tree and pins into the steering stem.

The same grade of heavy-duty stainless steel is used for the axle, which features left-hand threads and is secured by a set screw to prevent unintentional back-out.

RoosteR’s New School Vintage Classic front end is available to fit all Sportsters as a bolt-on kit and can be ordered to suit any frame combination for custom applications.
