Default Paughco s127a 2 up 35 rake any opinions?

I have a 79 shovel rigid with longer for tubes and my frame is messed so I'm looking at a paughco s127a which is 2 up stretch and 35 degree rake rather than the stock. I like the rake cause I'm 5'9" and the longer fork tubes make it less comfortable. Anyways anyone have one and recommend it? I can't find any builds with 2 up 35 rake.

Thanks

Pics of these are hard to find. It's between this and s128 which is the stock rigid frame with a 30 degree rake.

Built a couple using the stretched swingarm frame and the owners loved them . You do however need to check the neck for true , had one straight from Paughco be welded up 2 degrees off , the front wheel sat 3 inches offset when we mocked it up . 4 or 6 over tubes and that rig sits nice . I would also suggest tossing the chessy upper motor mount and the front lower fatbob tank mount that comes with then and making your own out of heavier 1/4" steel , the frames I got had 1/8" stamped sheet metal flimsy things included .
