Well I have never had any oil blow by and I hope this is the first.  Most importantly I hope that is all it is.
I haven't had time to look it over yet but had just a little oil on the rear header pipe and some on the rear cylinder fins just above the exhaust.
It is on the air cleaner side and that is my first guess...but it is a 110 and I just clicked over 20k on the miles.
I will look it over tonight and see if I can spot the source.
Seems to be running good.

On my 05 it was the rocker box gasket leaking above the rear exhaust port.  All you can do is clean it off real good and see where it is coming from.  I was able to remove the valve cover and tighten the rocker box bolts and all was good.
Good luck on an easy outcome.  Could easily be from the air cleaner.

Yep or the head gasket

Doesn't sound right to me.  I have oil carryover and now I religously remove the air cleaner and wipe out the drool between 500-1000 miles.  When I first discovered it, oil had dripped on top of the cam chest, not anywhere else.  I did have an oil leak when the bike was fairly new; the leak was a bad oil cooler adapter gasket.  That sprayed oil all over the place.
I have near 50,000 miles now and never had another leak.
