Sorry to hear about Charlie. He helped me out out numerous times over the years. Great guy and very knowledgeable. What a loss.

Eagle will be sorely missed! These last few years I've lurked through these threads and his advice along with many others helped me to get my bike back on the road for a glorious 300 miles. My igniter is currently fried, but I'll be thinking of Eagle when I'm back on the road!!
