Not that i used them, but i think many US based sohcers did.

Seems like some of the business is going to be taken care of by RBW, but some of it will disappear...

I hate to see a business close but Falicon wasn't what it used to be. The original owner sold it a number of years ago and things kinda slipped downhill. I know this because of a HD clutch basket issue that really pissed me...and my customer... off big time. Any specialty crank work I send to Marine. I guess all the old Falicon catalogs I have are worth millions now.

Most of us who run roller bearing cranks stopped using falicon many years ago. We experienced delays and many failures along with poor customer service. A long time employee left them to start his own business and is used by drag racers with much success. I'm not certain if he does plain bearing cranks but I'd suggest at least contacting him. The business name is Accurate Cranks in Florida. I can't remember the city but his name is Bob.

GRC in Maine is a master at roller bearing cranks, clutch hubs and such. Most of the Pro Stock bikes you see on TV are done by them, they also do Harley cranks for most of the go fast shops in the country. Stan and his crew are hard to beat!!

Agreed. We've used GRC as well.

 I didn't know Stanley was still involved with crank work. His shop used to be in his garage in Natick, MA. That's about 15 to 20 minutes from me. I've spoken with Pearson Racing....very nice to deal with.
