I thought it was gonna be the non-color-matched mid-frame heat deflector. 
Your decision has to come down to where you'd rather spend your cash. Personally, I think a chromed stock rear is plenty, for as much as the rear wheel is noticed.

When I first saw the pic of your bike I thought "That's a classy looking bike-can't find a thing wrong with it." After I read through the post I still couldn't see any issue. There have been posts that no one will notice once it's off the stand, and 90% of folks won't take note even on the stand.
If it bothers you that much, spend the $$ and get on with it. You're fretting over nothing, though.

You said your rear wheel is always covered in brake dust, I agree but here is an easy way to clean it with out washing your bike.
I use Cajun Shine All and some micro fiber rags.
Squirt a little bit of Shine All on a micro fiber cloth wipe off the break dust, then wipe dry with another micro fiber cloth.
That break dust wipes right off with no effort at all.
I buy mine right off the internet: http://www.cajunshineall.com/
It works on every thing: chrome, paint, plastic.
The only time my bike sees a car wash is after I've been to the coast to rinse the salt off.
I'm ****, but I'm lazy too........................lol

Actually, the dust wipes right off. My gripe is just that its there in the first place. I dunno why the rear brake kicks up so much more dust that the fronts, but Im definitely gonna try some different brake pads.
But I do appreciate your taking time to offer the tip.
