That's probably louder than I want, but then I do have some obnoxious neighbors . . .

Sorry to get off-topic, but can you please tell me if your oil cooler is stock or not (probably not)? I'm curious as to where you routed the oil flow from, since I can see the hoses running underneath the carb rack.
I'd also like to know which turn signals you are using. I like how they look compared to giant blinker light stalks that come stock. I sure wish my 650 was as clean as yours!
Thanks!

Wow, great pics. That 550 looks sweet. I really like that ltd 1000 too but there's definately something weird going on with that left sidecover and maybe the airbox too? Weird. Exhaust looks different too. He needs a nice 4-1 like your 550 has.

If you are running a 650 i think the 650 has a differant setup and if you swap out a kat 650 oilpan, that comes with oil take off points, do a search it has been discussed before.
The turn signals are just some cheapies that most bike shops carry or can order. it's some sort of mini signal.

I used to live in Tucson and have driven the Mt. Lemmon highway many times; never on a bike however. There are several spots on that road where a spell of inattention will result in a significant drop. I used to ride with co-workers and one of our typical trips would be;Tucson to Sonoita, on to Sierra Vista for brunch, then to Tombstone, on to Bisbee, then to Douglas and finally to Willcox before heading back to Tucson for dinner. Don't remember the exact mileage but it was a nice ride. I made that same ride by car last October while there for a visit; hopefully I can do it again on a bike soon. Currently live out-of-state, but may be heading back there one of these days.
