Thanks, and with the apparently ultra-rare factory engine guard!

And the engine guards has helped a couple times. The base bracket came with the bike, but I bought a low backrest before I moved up here to Idaho. Looking for pipes now, preferably stock.

Amazing to find one ! That '07 is a Unicorn for sure, high price about the same as the one I looked at in Blue 5 years ago - someone that appreciates the '07 needs to pick that baby up and show her some love !!

So the blue one you looked at had the center spoke area black as well?

Oh yea Denim blue, black hubs & spokes, upper fork tubes and frame. Didn't prefer the black frame, though it did look great with the Denim blue - I like the silver exo skeleten frame look on my '06 R better, plus the bike was 600 miles closer to my back door - but that '07 will probably be worth more long term since it's so rare - minor regret -

Gotcha, I was curious as I have an '06 Rich Sunglo Blue; however, the wheels are all silver, as is the frame.

Trying to think of a solution to ridding the spokes (coarse finish) of all the brake dust they collect.

My solution ( best on a cycle jack so you can spin both wheels but doable on the driveway if you roll the bike ) is to wipe shiny R Model aluminum wheel rim sections with WD40 or Wax to protect them, then spray dirty spokes & hub with S100 Cycle cleaner, let it soak, clean with a tooth brush and/or a brass brush ( aluminum safe ) and spray off with water. ride around block to dry & polish /wax aluminum part of wheels. Works great. Eventually I'll powder coat my wheel spokes black, grey etc. but even then they need a gentle cleaning to remove brake dust. You'll never escape occasional cleaning. Low dust ceramic pads will help a bit next brake pad change.
