Ok, please let me say this. Paughco is the industry standard for ANYTHING they make. They are on par with the likes of S&S when it comes to quality. No johny come lately makes better stuff no matter what the newbs on this board tell yah. If paughco makes it, its A+ quality. I have run tons of their stuff for decades and have never been disapointed.

Paughco imports a lot of their stuff don't kid yourself but they do have the better quality for what goes round .
On the flip side I've been to their place in Carson City Nevada , returned a new frame that had a 3 deg off to one side tilt on the neck , guy walked me back into shop area which at the time was a big wooden building with dirt floors to check it in their jig and the frame jig was black water pipe , angle iron and vise grips welded all over it goobered up in an old vise that was welded to an old heavy *** truck brake drum . It worked but damn ........

27 years ago, a dealer told me ordered $10K of different parts from Paughco.
It was the minimum order for a dealer discount and he had just got his HD dealership. He was trying to have inventory on stock for his customers.
He was so upset at the lack of quality on the parts, he said he felt like throwing the entire order in the trash, but needed at least his costs back.
He said he would never order from them again unless a customer wanted a part from them.
Maybe they are top quality now, but they weren't back then.
