He was a Pioneer and legend in motorcycle drag racing, Bonneville and in the Sportster and HD aftermarket fabrication world. He made everything from choke relocators to cylinders for HD owners around the world.
Apparently, Ron died due to Cardiac complications 2 days ago...
He developed and made tools to assist help with Harley engine motor building such as the Trock spring tool, lapping ring, and also made his own cylinders, trapdoors for Sportsters, shift paws, and a host of other parts. He was a legendary Shovelhead and Ironhead performance guru.
He's also one of the first people to help develop the Panster, Shovester and the Knukster. All Big twin heads on a sporty engine.
He modified carbs as well, and knew a CV carb like no other....
Rest in peace, Ron.
