Pulse Rotor for Standard and Interstate models have the same part # 30291-MN5-000.
I assumed that was the case, but brain-froze and didn't look it up before posting.  Thanks, TJ.

So I'm going to see if Discount Tires has Falken Ziex 512 in stock.
The 60 series is hard, if not impossible, to find.  If you want a 60, consider the General Altimax.

I'll stop by for moral support and I do have some dark side questions.

Yes...just won't kick over.  Sitting on the trickle charger now.  Almost cranked, but now I have to let it sit again.

It was a good wrench party!

brew1brew, Lucky_1_Chris, Woody, Yoda, Disco, TimTee, Thag, Daniel, Spoiler, WDAN, Sixguns, and Big Ed all showed up.  Future rider Bill was also in attendance.

Yoda showed up with propane heaters, which were pretty handy until the sun cleared the house enough to shine on the drive.  Thanks, Gunny.

We sync'd both brew1brew's and Woody's carbs, serviced brew1brew's rear drive, replaced the levers on Timtee's new ride, rebuilt WDAN's petcock and replaced his air filter.  Wrapped up by 12:30 and headed for Ponder's Ranchman Steakhouse for fried green tomatoes, CFS, and pie.



Some snaps:


Long line of  bikes: Good for us, bad for the realtor showing the house next door.




TimTee and his new-to-him ride.  One of my favorite color combos.




Woody, dressed as if it were cold or something.




b1b's rear drive service went as fast as any we've done at a wrench party.  He even had time to spit-shine a little, which is a pretty disgusting thing to do if you really think about it.  We had him use Pledge instead.




The group pretty much split up after lunch, but Chris, Thag, Diso, and I ended up back at my place, where Baron shortly appeared.  We were siezed with the sudden urge to swap Diso's handlebars and risers for my bars and risers off the black bike.  Not too long after, he's back to OEM and the black bike is sporting VTX bars with,  uhm, non-metric risers

The only way the day could have been better would have been if we had spent it riding.

It was nice to see some faces I haven't seen in a while, and to meet some new ones. Even better that we got a little ride and a good meal outta the deal. Can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday. Thanks for having us, VP. Looking forward to next time.
