Ok, kdogg, here's a more close up pic, though from a few years ago. As I posted, never been in a shop, 25K miles....always self serviced. A fantastic streetbike. Absolutely a keeper, its willed to my younger brother in Florida (an EX500 owner) when....well, when.

Visually stock, but got some tasty mods for reliability and performance sake. A Mosfet regulator/rectifier (from a ZX10), an LED voltage indicator, special valve keepers, Barnett clutch (dry), Michelin Pilots, Factory Pro carb innards.....blah blah blah. I've refined it over 20 years of ownership.
Looks like it just rolled out of the dealership! Seems like the perfect sportbike to ride around on. I know it's cliche to say, but in this case it is literally true, "they don't make em like this anymore".

I'm hoping to get a Monster 696 soon. I'll probably have to go to a dealer for maintenance at first but hope to eventually do most maintenance myself.
