I just purchased a 06 S50, I've put about 700 or 800 miles on the bike. I had the first service done at the recommended 500 mile mark. I love the bike but I would like more sound out of the exhaust. I can't afford new pipes right now, so I began researching the drilling process. I'm wondering has anyone performed this on an 06 S50, and also what are the dangers, if any, as to running lean or damaging the motor, and would I have to re-jet the bike if I drilled the exhaust. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, did it! I used Dr. Bob's instructions, and it sounds great! I also don't have to shift as soon - get more power on the top end.
Here's the website from an older thread:

Someone also made the suggestion to buy some used pipes from eBay to drill, so if you screw up, you're not out much. I had a friend help me do the drilling, and it didn't take much time. I've not regretted doing it.

Thank you very much for the link H4T. Did you have to re-jet after you drilled them?

Nope! I drilled almost a year ago, and I've had no problems.

I also drilled mine about 1500 miles ago with no problems ( 07 S50)
