my name is charlie lawlor and i just joined your group. all little history on me i have been in the powersports industry for 39 years, taught at mmi here in phoenix and i own a machine shop called short-block charlies. i have a home in montana and had a polaris 550 snowmoble a few years ago. i was one of the first persons to develop two stroke stroker cranks and years ago built billet cranks for personal watercraft , snowmobiles and yamaha banchees. i sold this business to a company called engine trix, and when the owner died phil schaffer started crankworks here in tempe. we currently do harley performance work, and genaral machine shop services. we also manufacture crank assembly fixtures. we are in the process of cnc porting harley heads and plan to get into metric engines and snowmobile heads. we are a sunnen machine shop. i hope i can give input to this group on both two stroke and four stroke engines
