Maintaining or restoring a vintage bike or building a “dirty” old school chopper requires to know where to find the period correct parts. Paughco carries a good selection of those hard to find replacement items. As an example, and because somebody asked me where to find them, these early brake components that Paughco manufactures. They include a mechanical drum with sprocket and dust cover ‘37-’57, mechanical brake shoes, mechanical brake drum backing plate ‘37-’57, mechanical brake cam for rigids thru ‘57, return springs and even an early Sporty and K-model rear brake lever. If you’re having problems locating early HD style replacement parts, call Paughco at 775-246-5738, email to info@paughco.com

Please avoid offensive, vulgar, or hateful language. Respect others. See the Terms Of Service for details.
At least their brake shoes fit their drum. Chrome is lame. Black painted is true-grit – when you can find it.
It would be nice if the drum flange were moved in a taste so the wheel hub would clear that assembly for easier wheel removal.
Something HD should-a done, but didn’t……….

If someone wealthy wants to create a forum, and let me control all of the postings, we can pull the ‘36-59 OHV market out of it’s doldrums.
A repop association doesn’t exist today, (ask a first year psych student why), but if some principal women connected to these companies listed below will contact me, I will work with them, since they have more brains for organization than men. Plus women are tuned into buying things. They understand what makes the herd move.

I need to be budgeted with a large sum of money, with the only restriction being that I account for every nickle spent. The cash-donor can get his money back through a slush fund creted from the participating manufacturer’s of the parts we buy.
The cash donor can control all of the money and keep me on a spending leash.
One quick project at a time will take place, under the donor’s decision supervision.
First project would be a KNUCKLE & PANHEAD to 1959 website, to prove an established market. Using the information provided by Stett http://stettsironhorseranch.com/
If I don’t know something about 1936-1959 OHV, he will tell me and I will post the info.
I have reams of illustrated info on 1955-1957 replica Knuckle & Pan at http://flatheadpower.com/ and http://hyrdra-glide.com/
I can copy the info from each site and put it on the new Knuckle & Pan site – as a builder’s base of information. We’ll expound on both Vol’s 1 & 2, and post the supporting mfgrs.
related parts, and develop build-up’s from all of the already existing repop parts. It will be easy for me to organize.
The 49 state’s builders have to be shown how to navigate through the 1955-57 repop maze. Stett & I have already blazed an easy trail for people to follow.
Think about the growth potential here, not about today’s down market. I have an accounting background.

• 61 & 74 cu. in. OHV is encouraged on the site.
• Hopped-up motors are discouraged.
• Antique’rs are tolerated.
•No Flathead.

These manufacturer’s build the parts for 1955-1957 OHV:
One of the corporate women can decide who will lead and make some contacts in my name, to:
• S&S® (Viola branch).
• V-Twin®, Inc (good luck), but I have a lady’s name and e-dress for you.
• Primo® Belt
• Paughco
They might make some lightweight contributions.
It would take a larger manufacturer like, J.C. Whitney, Inc. who makes sells our thrifty 5:10 x 16 tires, or an oil company.

The “look” people want to see, imo, is a layered, depth-of-field motorcycle.
Chrome was right during the 70’s. Times and tastes have changed Bu’wana.
Instead of a chrome star hub, use a V-Twin® parkerized star hub (with grease fittings on the hub and star cover). That’s a “buried detail” for someone eyes to find.
Laced w/ stainless spokes on a thick-chromed Perma-rim.
People will stare at your machine and find the detail on their own. Interest will develop, because on the site will have a list and recommendation on 74″ OHV build’s and corrections.
Buy a silent Bestway® pillar lift and keep your pony, covered, 6″ off the ground, waiting for you. They’re easy to install in your garage floor. Vol. 1 shows you how.
Peace – and all that goes with it.
Paughco gettin bigger….
