I like how your lights are mounted. They look like they are made for this application.

Be sure to give your manifold boots another tightening when warmed.

Pics un-needed here. I see fractals, checkers, swirls, elm trees, poplars, coyotes & a lil bit o' M. C. Escher.
Keep looking. Answers are around the corner.
If there is one thing I have learned throughout this process it is this: Check your respirator for spiders before you put it on.

Right click, view image, pic is correct. Too much vertigo is just right for me.
Pretty clean bike.
Ya know, decades ago a friend of mine & I visited a giant hall of a restaurant in Occidental. Giant tables, platters of food, barrels of beer. He was on a Beemer & I was riding a CX 500. We ate until we burst. Grand Hotel, maybe?

I've only ever been to Negri's Original in Occidental. You are lucky to have passed through, it's a nice little town. No coyotes though.

BBQ coyote was on the menu (until they were all gone).
