If you did, were you able to retain the steering lock or did you come up with a way to make it work? I'm considering doing inverted forks, but I'd really like to keep the steering lock on my bike.

If you don't find the info here, check over on Thumpertalk in the XR600/650 specific forum. There's lots of information about the swap, and I think more than a few examples of 650L versions.

Sweet bike dude! You had me shaking my head though with your exhaust. Is it a dual or just routed out the other side? Pretty wild.

i have inverted forks on my XR650L. i machined a block to hold the key switch and was able to use the steering lock.

This is how good a steering lock works:

That's awesome. Do you happen to have any pics of the machined block? I was trying to look at this but I think I'm going to need to take my front end apart to do so.

Part KTM, Part Yamaha.

The steering lock vid to me is a little questionable. Plus, where I work it would be a deterent. I'd like to keep it. Not worried about losers like that. I'm really thinking I'll invert my forks since I can't use the stock speedo with 17" wheels.
